Young Red-tailed Hawk spreads its wings

As I continue sorting through pics from the past year, I come across some cool ones that I haven’t shared before. This is one from back in April and taken near Denver International Airport. The young raptor was keeping close watch over a field, looking for a meal.

Found across all of North America, Red Tailed Hawks are probably the most common hawk you will see. They are oftentimes perched on poles in rural areas but have adapted well to suburban and urban settings as well.
