Buteo jamaicensis
This red-tailed hawk was badly injured in a collision with a car, & had to literally be cut free from the grille. Although he has made a remarkable recovery, he will never be able to fly & is now an educational animal.

They are one of my favorites too Jeff. What a shame this one will never get to fly again.
My favorite bird of prey. Nice capture Karen!
Thanks Christy!
Beautiful red-tail! Great captures, Karen! I agree with "coping" the beak! ;-)
Yes, we were told that he is due a beak trim.
Wow that's a beak!
