Description
After I named this image, I discovered this is actually a Red-tailled Hawk. Perhaps she's imitating the take-off of a Peregrine Falcon. She is definitely showing the size of her beautiful wings and giving a verbal warning! Photo taken in Licking County, Ohio, USA.
The red-tailed hawk is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.
