    I was driving out of Masset, Haida Gwaii, when I saw this Redtail Hawk sitting on a hydro line. I had to pull over for a photo. In this photo, it came up with a meal, a mouse.

    The pose really does show off the Hawk very nicely. Looks like he is checking the sky above and protecting his meal from any others that may want to steal his meal. Very nice capture Harold timed perfectly given you were driving.

    Gorgeous shot Harold. Love the tail feathers, tones and the added delight of his prey.
