I had a beautiful Red-tailed hawk in my yard today. Red-tailed hawk ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) If you would like to see more photos, I have posted them on my blog.
Gail...you are just the luckiest one! He looks colourful with the rich sunlight on him and that baleful glare under the twig, lets there be no mistake about his place in the food chain.
