Photograph of a red-tailed hawk perched on a large gray utility line amid sparse falling snowflakes with out of focus trees, branches, and a gray overcast sky in the background. The hawk is facing forward with its head turned to the right in profile. Red-tailed hawks have white bellies and chests with brown mottling across the waist, rust-red tails with a white and dark barred underside, brown back, wing, and head feathers with white markings, white underwings with dark barring and markings, dark eyes, black beaks with a yellow nostril, yellow legs and feet with long, sharp, black talons.
