Been A while since I posted here..
I took this yesterday at Ridgefield NWR, Washington state.
I had never seen this species in the Willamette Valley, I thought at first it
was a Leucistic Red Tail...
It was striking!
Welcome back Jack! I love the bird, the SH, the soft light, and even the boxy crop.

What a beautiful individual this is! It looks great in the grass too. Large crop held up, but looks on the edge. Welcome back indeed, nice to see you posting again
Very nice look at this species. Details held up decently - not perfectly - and the image has a slight pink cast to my eyes. I like how he's slotted in between the foreground and background grasses.
