Red Tailed Hawks

We've seen quite a few hawks lately. This first one was circling above us as we walked along the short of the lake at Chatfield.



This one was near the trailhead to Waterton Canyon. He just sat there for a few minutes no more than 20 feet away. And yes, that is an airplane in the background. Didn't notice it while I took the picture.

Great photos of the red-tailed. The shot from underneath the outspread wings really shows the viewer the patterning of the wings. Suspect this is the "light phase" of the bird. The photo with the airplane in the background is a nice ironic contrast between two flying machines. Prefer the bird!
