Stephen > It's not too often that a red tailed hawk will pay a visit to my yard but today it did. I still had to use my 500mm + TC to get enough reach. Midlothian, Texas, September 2009
Stephen > This red tailed hawk was buzzing my head as I was hunting for painted bunting on this nice May afternoon. Midlothian, Texas, May 2009
Stephen > I came up on this red tailed hawk slowly in my vehicle as I had seen it from a distance. It is also a place where I can usually find one perching. The trick is to actually be able to take a shot. No sooner had I lifted my camera that it crouched getting ready to leap which it did. The next frames were just talons and tail feathers. I still like the crouching pose though. Near Midlothian, Texas, January 2010
Stephen > I caught this red tailed hawk overlooking a large field in the last light of day. Midlothian, Texas, March 2009
Stephen > This is a distant flight shot of a red tailed hawk, but the light was nice showing its red tail. Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > I was birding my local area when, for the second day in a row, I found this red tailed hawk just off the side of the road on the ground. I am used to seeing harriers on the ground but not red tailed hawks unless they have prey. This one may have had prey, but the minute I slowed down in my vehicle it jumped to this fence a few feet away. I stopped thinking it would fly away, but it didn't. There must have been some dead prey on the ground that it did not want to leave. Anyhow, I snapped a few images on the fence and then took off leaving it to its prey. Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > I have found this hawk and one other that seem to have staked out this area of my hometown. I believe it is a female and male pair. Anyhow, this one, the female I think, was deep in a wooded area but I found a relatively clean view of her for a few frames. Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > For the second year in row I have found a red tailed hawk using this dead tree as a perch. I also drive through this area quite often with my camera so you would think they hawks and other birds would get used to me. This is not the case. Within four shutter clicks, it took off. Just outside Midlothian, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > This red tailed hawk had just finished eating something on the ground when it flew up to this perch. I took this picture right at sunset. Midlothian, January 2009
