A Red-tailed Hawk banks across a clear blue sky with its wings raised in a powerful upstroke and its banded flight feathers spread like fingers. Its head is angled down, eyes locked on something below, and its yellow talons are already reaching forward. The sun lights up the rusty tail and the speckled cinnamon chest against the sky. The photo catches the moment just before the hawk commits to its dive.
