• 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.

I can't wait to get my first DSLR 📷 to start taking shots of wild life photos!

Thanks for looking and commenting, golgi. Next I want to catch one of these guys smiling.
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.
Nice image Larry. And thanks for the info Fred, I didn't know that.
What a great capture, Larry! I don't remember seeing a shot like this before! Very well done!
Thanks, Sue. This was a shoot and run situation. Didn't know I had it until the download.
