Red-shouldered Hawk

These photos were taken near Hinsdale, Montana. Our friend Hap in Victor was able to identify it as a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk by conferring with one of his birding friends. I took the photos while on a backroads jaunt with Mona.

He kept hopping from fencepost to fencepost so I got several shots of him, but he maintained his distance.

Finally he had had enough and flew away.
