I was at a lookout on the Palisades cliffs over the Hudson River, scanning the horizon for migrating raptors. This young Red-tailed Hawk suddenly popped out from behind a stand of trees to my near left, and harassed the Black Vulture who was taking a nap on a snag. He caught me by surprise, so this is a grab shot. Full height cropped from horizontal. I do wish I had seen him a split-second sooner, but I still liked the juxtaposition.
