Yesterday I found a very cooperative Red-tail that allowed me close images at several different perches. It was on the hunt but did not catch anything during the 2 hours I followed it. The light was low so I didn't get any flight or action shots.

Tough shooting conditions and I like the last one the best. Is this a dark morph?

Thank you all for commenting. This bird was in the same area last year and I got several good photos of it then as well. It is darker than most but not sure if you could label it a dark morph. I have located another one which is extremely dark - almost black. It has wintered in the same area the past 2 years. I have not been able to get close enough to it for decent photos but will keep trying.

Awesome series, what fun this had to be following this guy around. I don't believe I ever seen one this dark before.

1,2 and 5 are my Favorites, excellent detail...

Great series, Bob. The bird is much different than our RTH's, is that an east/west thing, an age thing or just normal differences?

This is a dark morph. A normal red tail has a white chin, chest, butt and white on the head. Some are even darker than this guy though. Great shots. He's very alert. :)
