I’m pretty sure this is a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). It turned its head enough to look at me but that also disturbed it enough that it took flight.

Sounds very familiar, because that happens to me every time I try to get a close-up photo of a hawk.
He did stay long enough to give this pretty cool pose.
Well, I’m impressed! What a terrific shot. I’ve tried for years to get a good hawk picture and have failed every time! Kudos to you!
Re your comment on Ocala about the “vine” – at first I was going to say this was the new logo for the Republican Party, but decided not to do so at the last minute. 🙂
Super photo of the red-tailed hawk!
What a beauty!
Red Tail Hawks are so beautiful – this is a great shot. It is too bad that they are so skittish.
I’m glad he stayed still long enough for this shot. I think he’s giving you the eye!
I missed the migration on Hawk Ridge in Duluth, MN this year and must make a calendar note for next year so I can see some of these magnificent birds, such as the one you photographed.
Gorgeous hawk. You nailed this shot — bravo! Sharp resolution. And, so nice of Mother Nature to offer a bright blue sky that day!
