Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. For those interested, Artie and I wrote a guide to bird photography locations in mid Florida. The Birds As Art Middle Of Florida Photography Site Guide will be available on the Birds As Art Online Store when Artie returns from Ontario. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice view of this juvenile. Like the calling pose and the way the bird is on top of that perch. The light sky background is nice.

Love the calling pose, details and colors (no surprise). The composition works well for this perch and pose. TFS
