While out with a client about a month ago this handsome juvie Red-shouldered Hawk landed right in front of us and started sunning herself in the warmth of the morning sun. She was very cooperative and let us reposition ourselves with a nice background and sun angle. We were both elated with this close encounter.

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it.

Beautiful, Dave. Her plumage is a little shaggy, but nice work on your part.

Thanks Charlie!
I was going to mention that she had just bathed because I saw her sunning herself after a bath a few time after this.

The back view with that side look back is really very nice David! The perch and the background finish it off perfectly.
