The colors in the trees and in the hawk even match!

And the details are sharp and clear as well.

Superb shooting!

I love how the late day light makes the hawk’s tail feathers almost translucent. What a magnificent creature. Well done!

That's what I saw fly over my house yesterday. Same coloring, or is that from the sunset. The tail wasn't so colorful.

This hawk was airborne just as the sun was going down and its colors were brightened.

The hawk was there when I was. Took a step or two too many and it took off. Fortunate for a space in the leaves to see it.
