I wanted to also highlight the red-tailed hawk's upper tail coverts. This birds plumage was immaculate and so stunning.
The upper covert tail feathers are above the red tail and are white and red. I have never seen them quite this beautiful.

From my archives, a gorgeous adult Red-tailed Hawk scanning the area for lunch. S/he was sitting on a branch right above a trail, so I took lots of photos! 🧡🤩

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AngryBirds, a bird with an angry face. This juvenile #Red-tailedHawk was giving me a death stare through the branches while I took (too many) photos (Concord, MA - 3/20/26) 😠📷🤎

A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk with a reddish-brown head and back, yellow eyes, white chest and underparts, spotted brown belly band, and brown and white barred tail. The bird had an unhappy look on its face because I (and 3-4 others) were taking so many photos. It was perched on a brown branch of a tree right above the trail. There were more brown branches, red-orange buds, and a blue sky in the background. Seen at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts.

The first day of Spring, and I was lucky to see this beautiful, juvenile Red-tailed Hawk in a tree right over the walking path at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts. The bird has a brown head, yellow eyes, white front with a brown spotted belly band, and a barred tail in light and dark brown. It was staring at me while perched on a brown branch of a tree that had many branches with clusters of red buds. The sky in the background was a brilliant blue.

Red-tailed hawks come in different colorings (morphs). This is a rufus morph because its chest has the orangey, rufus color (rather than the bright white). The head is a darker brown. It has its hackles up. Majestic bird!

Red-tailed hawk. #Red-TailedHawk #Hawk #Bird #Raptor #Flight #Animal #Nature #Photography
A red-tailed hawk flying through some trees, from right to left. Its wings are up in a V formation. The hawk's eyes are yellow. Its legs are hanging straight down as it flies with the talons facing behind. The top of the right wing is brown with some white toward the edge and in the middle. The bottom of the left wing is almost pure white, with a spot of brown where the wing meets the body. The hawk's eyes appear focused straight ahead toward a couple trees on the left, but it appears it is headed behind them. Smaller branches from other trees are visible over the entire background. The sky behind the hawk and trees is a light blue.

Red-tailed Hawk This photo captures a majestic bird of prey, likely a hawk, perched confidently on a weathered tree stump. Its sharp gaze is fixed intently on something in the distance, showcasing its keen hunting instincts. The bird’s brown and white feathers contrast beautifully with the soft, green blur of the forest background, where tall, slender tree trunks rise vertically. The natural light casts a gentle glow, highlighting the textures of the bird’s feathers and the rough bark of the stump. Deacon Land This photo captures a lush, green wetland filled with tall grasses, leafy shrubs, and slender trees. Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled light on the vibrant ground cover. The dense greenery suggests a thriving ecosystem with a mix of textures and shades of green, creating a peaceful, natural environment. The small, narrow water channel hints at the presence of a gentle stream or marsh beneath the thick vegetation. Mink Pond This photo captures a peaceful natural landscape with a small reflective pond in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees. The water mirrors the blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds, creating a stunning contrast with the vibrant green of the foliage. In the distance, a dense forest stretches across the horizon under a bright, sunny sky. The framing of the scene with overhanging branches adds depth and a sense of calm to the image.
