20111222 1686 Red-tailed Hawk.jpg

Ottawa

A full-frame shot of this relatively tame juvenile. The Hawk is perched on a metal "T" post. It had trouble grabbing on to the post with its left talons; hence, I thought I'd just let it grab on to the bottom of the frame LOL (See http://www.pbase.com/image/140512828 for its landing approach to the "T" post.)
