This Red Tailed Hawk was intent on a mouse and let me approach in my car. It was very cold and I think they are more tolerant then, no doubt conserving energy.

Great action shot. The wing position and angle of the body says speed and lots of it.

Really a great capture. I find the frame a little distracting though.

This is something new I was trying. I think you're right, I did get a little carried away.
