Buteo jamaicensis
It was very windy at Plum Island today, and this immature Red-tail was facing into the wind and just barely moving along, giving great photo opps.

Thanks EnvUnlimited, I'm using a Canon 5D camera and the Canon 500mm lens I just got a few months ago. The lens is a big strp up from the 100-400mm lens I had before.
Thanks for the nice comments Karen, Ashish and Carol!
Gorgeous!
Love to see them in such still or gliding flights.
Stunning series Tom!
Thanks Christy.
Gorgeous!! Beautiful series, Tom!
Thanks RiekoS.
Very nice series.
Thanks Yuko and Emily. This red-tail made my day!
What a beautiful little baby! I love the first shot! He/she has beautiful coloring! I love RTH that have really dark markings against the light plumage.
Breathtaking!
