A close-up portrait of a Red-tailed Hawk in profile. The hawk has one fluffy white feather out of place on its back.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #Feathers, so I'm taking a closer look at the intricate head feathers of this #RedTailedHawk, not to mention the one fluffy white back feather it hasn't bothered to preen away.

Going into the weekend with wings outstretched and ready to tackle the small mammals underfoot! Okay, that might be this #RedTailedHawk as I decidedly lack wings.

A red tailed hawk soars in the sky. A blurred tree is in the foreground on the left of the frame. The bird is flying toward, but above it.

One of my favorite photos. #birdoftheday #largebirdsinflight #redtailedhawk

A red tailed hawk flying with wings extended, tail feathers fanned out, with blurry background bokeh from the motion.

The Bird of the Day theme is "large bird in flight".
I was standing in the back of a pickup truck when this red tailed hawk left her aerie and flew past. Moments earlier she had carried a rabbit in for her fledglings (pic in comments).

Perfect Balance. Late afternoon. Hannah The Red Tailed Hawk, looking ravishing, as she enjoys the fresh air and scenery. Incredible plumage. She is considered sacred, by many Native American tribes. So beautiful.

This zoomed and cropped image shows the top of a branch where a Red-tailed Hawk is perched. The hawk is holding the branch with one leg while the other is pulled up into a tuck for a one-legged perch.

A slightly pulled-back zoom.

A crop of the full bird, almost directly overhead.

Talons. Three crops - same photo. The Red-tailed Hawk had just released the branch with its second leg and was in the midst of tucking. #redtailedhawk #bird #birdphotography #birdsofnyc #nycwild
