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.

These Raptors are tough to catch standing still. There's a Red Tail in my neighborhood that flies at the sound of a focus motor.

Beautiful bird.

Larry, excellent capture. Catching birds of prey in the natural surrounding requires very good woods skill. Thanks for haring these photos.
