Interesting Fact: Red-tailed Hawks occupy just about every type of open habitat on the continent. This includes desert, scrublands, grasslands, roadsides, fields and pastures, parks, broken woodland, and (in Mexico) tropical rainforest.

    Magnificent birds – I’ve done raptor rehabilitation in the past and have a special affinity
    for all raptors.

    I love Red-tailed Hawks (RTHA). I’ve captured hundreds of images of them over the years since they are one of the most visible raptors in the country. More recently, I’ve been watching American Crows mobbing RTHAs since they’re notorious nest robbers. I did an internship at with a raptor rehabilitator and worked with RTHAs a lot, an absolutely stunning bird.

    Absolutely love your humorous captions and more importantly, seeing your fantastic photos! Thank you SO much for posting the settings. We have a red tail hawk who lives here on our property and I have often wondered if I could capture him in flight. Checking out your shutter speed gives me hope!! Thank you😆
