Look who was checking out something just outside my kitchen door! It's an immature red-tail hawk. You can tell it's not fully grown because of the mottled chest and the banding on the tail. Look at those fluffy legs!
"What? You talkin' 'bout me?"

He's beautiful. How lucky that you looked outside when you did, huh?
oh, wow, so beautiful capture Sharkbytes, lucky you spotted him when he was checking outside your kitchen door.
He is handsome.
That's a great shot Shark. Such a handsome youngster.
He's beautiful, what a great capture. He does have some pretty fluffy legs there :)
That. Is. Stunning. Great job!
Susan- Indeed! I don't know if he had caught something - they don't usually sit on the ground unless they have.
betchai- he found some snack, I think
rainfield- I love hawks
Chuck- his pride shows through (or hers!)
Ann- I hadn't realize quite how feathery red-tail legs are
vanilla- thank. you.
What a gorgeous visitor! And you didn't have to work hard at all for that incredible shot. That's why I always carry my camera with me. Perfection, Joan. You must be really pleased with that one.
