\"JuvenileJuvenile Red-tailed Hawk in flight at Farmington Bay WMA – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/2500, ISO 640, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited<\/span><\/p>\n

I photographed this juvenile Red-tailed Hawk<\/span><\/a> flying by last month at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area in Davis County.<\/p>\n

I wish there had been a few clouds in the sky to add interest but I do like the pose and eye contact plus the fanned out tail.<\/p>\n

Bird photography has been slow around here lately so I am hoping the two storm fronts that are coming in will stir things up a bit.<\/p>\n

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