\"Red-tailedRed-tailed Hawk just after lift off – Nikon D810, f6.3, 1\/2000, ISO 400, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This Red-tailed Hawk<\/span><\/a> image was taken last week in the Centennial Valley of Montana just after the hawk lifted off from a power pole.<\/p>\n

I wish there had been mountains or fluffy white clouds in the background but it was taken on a morning when there were absolutely no clouds in the sky. I also wish that the right wing wasn’t hidden by the hawk’s body.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
