In early May, I left Arizona to photograph in Havana, Cuba. When I returned later that month, the pair of young hawks was able to leave the nest, and began making short flights around Sagewood’s complex. I found this young hawk sitting on a fence surrounding a fountain in one of Sagewood’s courtyards. Its white feathers have fallen away, revealing the characteristic Red Tailed Hawk plumage, glowing orange and brown in the morning sun. It allowed me to come within a few feet, and seemed to have no fear of man.
