Photograph of a red-tailed hawk perched on a branch with larger and smaller branches surrounding it and a pale blue sky in the background. The hawk is facing right leaving one eye visible. It is mostly in shadows except its lower belly which is highlighted by early morning sunlight. 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, dark eyes, black beaks with a yellow nostril, yellow legs and feet with long, sharp, black talons.
