Description of the Image’s Contents
After finishing a hike further within the Nature Realm, this Red-tailed Hawk was near the entrance of the park, and after following it from a safe distance behind it seemed to be curious. The hawk hung out up in the trees, then suddenly flew right down and jumped up on to the big rock near the heron statue. I couldn’t believe my absolute luck in being chosen like this, and captured many of my favorite photos still to this day, this being right up there for the capture of the 3rd eyelid that birds have called a nictitating membrane (think of it as an extra shield for their eyes).
