\"AutumnAutumn immature Red-tailed Hawk – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/800, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a simple, one image post this morning.<\/p>\n

I photographed this immature Red-tailed Hawk about one year ago after leaving Farmington Bay WMA while I was on my way home and just prior to getting on the interstate.<\/p>\n

I liked the yellow leaves in the background because they show the colors of autumn but I wished at the time that the young hawk had been in better light so I hadn’t posted it here until now.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t quite sure I could get over the not quite perfect light.<\/p>\n

The more I have looked at this image over the past year the more I liked it for the flight pose, the look at the Red-tailed Hawk’s<\/span><\/a> plumage colors against those yellow leaves and somehow the poor lighting conditions became less significant to my eyes.<\/p>\n

The photo isn’t perfect but then nature always is in its own way.<\/p>\n

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