Red–tailed Hawk

Two Red–tailed Hawks flew across the road directly in front of my car. I quickly followed them into an abandoned school yard. Luckily I had my camera with me and also my telephoto lens. As I exited the car with my camera, I could not find the hawks anywhere. Then, to my surprise, one hawk landed on the chain link fence about 15 feet away from me. I congratulated myself for being in the right place at the right time and snapped off several shots. I expected the small birds down the fence to fly away from the hawk, but they seemed unperturbed. Red–tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)
