I seldom see Harlan’s Red-tailed\u00a0Hawks and rarely photograph them so yesterday’s encounter was a memorable experience for me.\u00a0Harlan’s are\u00a0a subspecies of Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis harlani<\/em>) that mostly breeds in remote areas of Alaska and western Canada.<\/p>\n

But I occasionally see them during winter and I photographed this juvenile yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA. The bird took off as my pickup was still coasting to a stop so I was lucky to get any shots at all. In this image the bird is\u00a0very close to the right edge of the frame so I cropped vertically. The light was unusually warm because the sun had peeked over the mountains less than a minute before the\u00a0photo was taken.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0image is far from perfect but these birds are unusual and interesting enough that I thought readers might like to see it anyway.<\/p>\n
