[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the same Hawk as the one I posted a couple days ago. Here he was turning around to get a better look at me. I was only about 15 feet from him. This was at the refuge and that is a sign that he is on.
Thanks for looking.

Hello Tom

What a lovely and bright mage of this beautiful hawk,you can see him concentrating on getting his footing.
Lovely plumage definition and detail.
The colours are natural and well saturated.
The 15ft POV is terrific.
Well done.

Such a beautiful bird Tom,
The sharpness and detail is wonderful. The coloration seems more of a lighter shade then the Red-tails I've seen around here.
I did manage to get a few shots of the white hawk today, but none worth posting. TFS.
