Incredible Thanks! As I said, the wingspan of redtailed hawks is
fantastic. And those talons. Yikes! When I see hawks looking like they
are lazily floating on a breeze I think how fun is that? But there is a
reason they say "eyes sharp as a hawk"; they're looking for prey. And when
they spot it they move very fast. Wonderful shots, thanks, Janet.
