I photographed this beautiful adult Red Shouldered Hawk yesterday morning in the Central Park in Huntington Beach, my timing was right, I waited a few minutes and I got it taking flight.

Excellent in flight capture, Arthur! Nice catch light in his eye, and I love the downward swoop of the wings. Perfect timing. <>< #11572307
