It’s become our tradition to spend New Year’s Day in northern Box Elder County looking for raptors.\u00a0 Just over two weeks ago this adult Red-tail gave me a good look at the entirety of its visible plumage.<\/p>\n

Power poles are the scourge of the area I was shooting in (poles, insulators and wires don’t fit well with “nature” photography) so flight shots were my goal.\u00a0 I thought I’d include this image for its feeding behavior, taken just as the back half of the vole was disappearing down the gullet\u00a0– “vole sliders” I call’em.<\/p>\n

and then the feathers on the topside in the next two shots.<\/p>\n

I always appreciate a good view of the topside of an adult Red-tail, especially when that beautiful red tail is fanned out and I think the last three images in combination provide a good study of the overall plumage of the hawk.<\/p>\n
