Sunday at a local park, I heard the keening cry of a bird of prey. After walking around the same 4-5 trees for 15 minutes, this landed in front of me capturing a lizard for a snack. Then he flew into a tree and continued his call. He sat there long enough for these photos. Hope you enjoy. I believe it is a young Red-Tail.
Brilliant captures,

I'm not a fan of bird photography, but your shots are really appealing and very well done.

Fine shots Larry. Particularly the first two with the extra sunlight on him/her.

Great shots of the most difficult bird to capture.

How fortunate you were to be in the right place at the right time (with a camera :-) ) Beautiful shots.
