• Because its eyes are fixed in its sockets, the Red-Tailed Hawk has limited peripheral vision. To
compensate for this, it like other birds of prey has 14 vertebrae in its neck. This allows the hawk to
rotate its head 210°; more than humans but less than the owls.

Versus 7 for the human.

Thanks, Swamp. This was an "insurance shot" in case he left quickly. I wanted to get closer and was shooting and walking. That's why he has no tail.

Thanks, Sue. This was a shoot and run situation. Didn't know I had it until the download.
