I was lucky to find this nicely perching red-tailed hawk who was calmly surveying its territory.
Me sentía afortunado de haber hallado esta aguililla colirroja posándose bonitamente tranquilamente observando su territorio.

I was on my way to work when I spied this red tailed hawk in the distance. Because of the location of the sun rising in the east, the distance, the low light, I decided to go for this silhouetted look as there was no way to take a picture of this hawk with any detail.

Believe it or not, I spied this large female in a huge pecan tree just off the side of a major street. I pulled into the median, crossed the street and was able to get almost directly under her before she spooked.

I came up on this red tailed hawk slowly in my vehicle as I had seen it from a distance. It is also a place where I can usually find one perching. The trick is to actually be able to take a shot. No sooner had I lifted my camera that it crouched getting ready to leap which it did. The next frames were just talons and tail feathers. I still like the crouching pose though.
Me topé con este gavilán colirrojo en un área donde usualmente puedo verlo. Creo que esta hembra es una de un par que veo por aquí. Bueno la vi desde cierta distancia así es que me acerqué en mi vehículo muy despacio para no espantarla porque la clave es todavía tener la oportunidad de fotografiarla que es bastante difícil ya que este gavilán es tan receloso. Bueno, en cuanto había levantado mi cámara, ella se agachó en preparación para un despeque. Se despegó de su percha y las próximas fotos en esta secuencia son de talones y plumas de cola. Jajaja!

So common but so skittish; as a result when I get a half-way decent shot of one of these red tailed hawks, I get quite excited.
