While on a walk by a small brook came on this beauty sitting on a rock quite relaxed. I have seen him in the area but have never got near enough for a good shot.

Wow, you got close enough that time! Fantastic.

Am I seeing things- Does the bird have only one leg or is he posing in an artful manner?

Edited for spelling.

Thanks C.R. I had actually gone looking for an Osprey at another location and got nothing and came on this Red Tail Hawk!

I am told they sit on one leg when relaxed, He seemed to be until another hiker approached from the opposite direction.

I like 3. Great shot.
Opanda does not show the lens you used.

Does Canon not put that in the Exif?
