Intermediate-Morph Red-tailed Hawk And Juniper Berries
I’m no authority on the highly variable color variations of the Red-tailed Hawk but I believe this bird to be an intermediate-morph adult. I love these rufous-colored hawks.

An Update On The Red-tailed Hawk Chicks
Ten days ago I reported on the progress of the three Red-tailed Hawk nestlings I’ve been following out in the west desert. At that time several of my readers requested that I keep folks up to date on these birds as they approach fledging. This post is my attempt to do so.
Red-tailed Hawk Chicks (and my emotional attachment to them)
We’ve been keeping an eye on this Red-tailed Hawk nest in the west desert for about three years now.
Red-tailed Hawk With A View Over The Great Salt Lake
When I first approached this adult Red-tailed Hawk twelve days ago on the north end of Antelope Island I had the distinct impression that it was enjoying the view over the Great Salt Lake from its lofty perch.
Mating Red-tailed Hawks
Yesterday was the first time I’ve been able to photograph mating buteos in the wild.
Red-tailed Hawk Hunting Voles
In January I spent a few days with this adult Red-tail as it was hunting voles from power poles in Tooele County. Those blasted poles and wires are a real problem for the photographer.
Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off After Prey
Two years ago this juvenile Red-tailed Hawk hunted the same area of Antelope Island for much of the summer.
Landing Red-tailed Hawk
I believe this to be a perspective on a landing raptor that one seldom sees in a photograph. It may not be to everyone’s taste but I found it interesting nonetheless.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight With Prey
Red-tailed Hawk In Bright But Diffuse Light – How To Process?
Red-tailed Hawk – Same Image, Two Perspectives
This is a simple example of how changing the crop of a photograph can drastically alter one’s perspective on the image.
Red-tailed Hawk In Full Flight
I like the backgrounds provided by western mountains for birds in flight but as I’ve said previously backdrops with texture make it more difficult to get sharp focus lock on the bird.
Red-tailed Hawk In A Steep Dive (and a point about rotation)
When a raptor dives on prey from an elevated perch one has the opportunity for fairly dramatic flight shots because of the angle of attack and wing position.
Red-tailed Hawk “Pole Dancing”
Yesterday morning I had a great time photographing an adult Red-tailed Hawk in northern Utah County as it hunted rodents from power poles. The experience was both rewarding and frustrating as I’ll explain.
Adult Red-tailed Hawk – Total Plumage
It’s become our tradition to spend New Year’s Day in northern Box Elder County looking for raptors. Just over two weeks ago this adult Red-tail gave me a good look at the entirety of its visible plumage.
