Evasive Action - doing a flip

This hawk (what is it?) was taking some evasive action to get away from two seagulls that were attacking it. I figured it had perhaps been into a nest. The seagulls were chasing it all over the sky.

Great timing....the hawk is a little bit twisted for sure.

Good catch. I'm sure he had to stop in a hurry when in that position.

What a great catch Vern. All action.

Looks like a young Red-tailed Hawk. hard to tell for sure though without seeing more of it. That's quite an unusual position to see one in. Great catch!

Wow, nice action and details. I'm looking forward to the day when my in-flight birds are more than a blur!

Looks like he's demo'ing evasive action for a flight school of young hawks.
