23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A Juvenile Red Tail Hawk Watches with Curiosity
This juvenile Red Tail Hawk was fascinated by my large lens on my camera. The bird was curious about me taking its photo but did not appear to be concerned or afraid. I was able to take multiple shots and even "talk" to the bird without it flying away. It was fascinating.
