Description
Young Red Tail Hawk in black and white photography taken in Utah, USA. Full color version available also.
The Red Tail Hawk is the most widespread and familiar hawk in North America. It's bulky body and broad-wings are designed for effortless soaring. An inhabitant of open country, it is commonly seen perched on roadside poles or sailing over fields and woods. Although adults usually can be recognized by the trademark reddish-brown tail, the rest of their plumage can be quite variable from blackish to rufous-brown to nearly white.

This is a true testament to how a black and white photo has the crispness and attention to details that allow us to see the finer points of a photo that we may otherwise miss. The spectacular plumage of this hawk, so perfectly adapted for camouflage is outlined here for us to see. The intensity of the gaze in the eyes is so evident. I am definitely adding this to my favorites!
