Even so, the details in what color there is show are perfect. A really great shot.
wonderful bird and shot in flight!!
Awesome POV and great colours- thanks for sharing! :)
I took care of a female red-tailed hawk who was more the standard reddish brown coloration once. A friend found her by the side of the road down in Texas. He didn't know if she'd been grazed by a car or what. He couldn't get her to eat anything, so he brought her to me. I gave her calves liver and she loved it. She even let me pet her after a time and I had to crawl into the cage we built for her to get her bowls. She never once offered to attack me, thank goodness! I kept her for about a month and then we let her go at a dam nearby. I was sad to turn her loose, but better that way. Beautiful birds and lovely image of a rare coloration. Quite the catch there! :)
