Looking like it just finished a meal this Red tailed Hawk was right back at it. Watching the fields intently for a mouse to stir and trying to make the most of the short days this time of year.

Look how its plumage matches the environment. Perfect!
He does blend in oh so well even in these leafless tress.
Hope your having a great weekend.
Yes, very cold here! But great for snowshoeing. 🙂
This is a beautiful photograph.
Thanks, it was a very fine looking red-tailed to say the least. Hope your weekend is going well.
Exquisite photo, Mike. Every marking on the hawk is visible, you captured his tense raptor spirit, and the branches around him are the perfect frame.
Hi Jet, i like your description of tense and adding intense as well makes for a perfect description of how this guy was hunting in that open field. Hope your weekend is going well.
Such intensity – great photograph!
Thanks Adam, it is always fun to run across a raptor going about their business and one who lists you watch a bit is even better. Hope your weekend is going well.
