Red-tailed Hawk

2/01/2013 Redtailed Hawk

Red-tailed Hawk  Although the snow has melted, it’s still February 1st and a bit chilly this morning.  The dogs go out the door in a rush as always barking just to see if anyone barks back.  Out of the corner of my eye, birched on a nearby tree, there he is; a Red-tailed Hawk.   Run back up stairs, quick change the lens, and back to capture an image of this majestic bird; quick work for the 70-200mm.  Then, in a flash, he was gone to go hunting.  Glad I am not a field mouse.
