I'm glad he didn't get hurt! :D
Btw.. Red tailed hawks are endangered species. :(
AWESOME SHOT. Yesterday I saw a red-tailed hawk gliding overhead and a turkey vulture was swooping at it. I quickly grabbed a metal pole that was nearby and hit it on a rock. Boy, did they get scared! They flew away from each other faster than you could say SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOSHUS, which takes a while to say! XD
