Red Tailed Hawk

Buteo jamaicensis

Description:

Adult Red Tailed Hawk soaring today. A cautious bird, hard to get close to. I patient followed him around a field, trying not to disturb him. He was just seemingly wanting to sun and watch from the tree tops.

Habitat:

The Red-tailed Hawk is a bird of open country. Look for it along fields and perched on telephones poles, fenceposts, or trees standing alone or along edges of fields.

Notes:

So hard to get close too.
