This morning I saw a juvenile Red Tail Hawk that was really comfortable around people, even curious about us. This is part of a sequence showing his behavior, I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did!

Thanks for looking,
BOB

Fly-by

Kind of annoyed at me!

Well, take the picture!

Is this my best side?

OK, that's enough! (I left him alone after this.)

Terrific shots of an apparently cooperative subject, Bob.

Wow, love the expressions, I find it hard to get close to this bird.
Great job, Bob.

I don't know, maybe holding a rabbit helped? :-)

Wonderful, Bob. Being young, the bird not you, probably helped.

Thanks Rex, but how do you know I'm not young? (You're right, darn it!)

Those are some entertaining poses! I have had a few encounters with RTH's that just seem to be comfortable around people and one that was plain 'young and dumb and comical'

It's always nice to get these gifts by surprise, lucky you!
