Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk - Lessons

I watched a Hawk and Kestrel fighting in the air high above a cut field. When the hawk dropped out of the sky, I saw it was a juvenile. The brown tones of the hawk, fence and grasses began to transform as the sun was setting providing contrast against the blue and green hues of the background.
