Photograph of a red-tailed hawk in flight against a powder blue sky. The view is from below and the hawk is flying to the left in profile leaving its head, abdomen, wing fronts, and the underside of its tail visible. The hawk has its wings spread wide, its tail splayed out, and its legs and feet tucked against it tail. Red-tailed hawks have white bellies and chests with brown mottling across the waist, rust-red tails with a white and dark barred underside, brown back, wing, and head feathers with white markings, white underwings with dark barring and markings, dark eyes, black beaks with a yellow nostril, yellow legs and feet with long, sharp, black talons.
