Red-tailed Hawk
Buteo jamaicensis
This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you've got sharp eyes you'll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. I recently saw more Red-tails on one day than I have seen in my entire life while traversing Texas 7 between I-35 and I-45. Red-tailed hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you'll see them atop fence posts or telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a mouse or rabbit, or simply waiting out the cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky. The red tail is best seen from the top side.

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.
