NCAR10D-425
August 2010
Moving back closer to home, this is a beautiful red-tailed hawk from the Carolina Raptor Center. These rehabilitated birds are given homes, as well as an opportunity to educate the public. He is so graceful looking, but you could tell from the way he moves and acts that he was a hunter, able to snatch treats out of mid-air if you tossed them high enough. I don't usually do a lot of wildlife photography, due to a lack of lenses and big gear, but this center gives a unique opportunity to engage with these birds of prey on an intimate level, especially during the daily viewings. Enjoy.
