Red-tailed Hawk
Uploaded: October 05, 2008
The most common and widespread hawk in North America, the Red-tailed Hawk is a bird of open country.
The raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is used in movies to represent any eagle or hawk anywhere in the world.
This was shot last week as I was shooting dragonflies at our pond. It was quite distant, so there's a heavy crop here..Needless to say, I was quite excited as I saw it start to draw near. Not quite near enough though :(
Canon 300mm f2.8 + 2x tele, handheld.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
