Very nice portrait... I'm very fond of redtails myself - never was able
to be that close to one...
(and sorry you aren't really in New York , btw :-)

Thanks Jack. Yes, I shot it. This was taken after two hours of
photographing Ireland as the raptor specialist worked to trim and polish
Ireland's beak and talons. They actually have to use a Dremel (a small
power tool) to do the trim work. The angle and shape of the beak and talons
has to be maintained properly for Ireland to be able to grip a perch or eat
correctly. And Ireland fumed at us the entire time.

That's a terrific shot, Liz! I gather you shot it and should be proud. IMO,
the fact that it was done in a rehab center doesn't compromise it a bit.

This is Ireland, a red-tail hawk that
is an education bird at a local
wildlife rehabilitation center. I volunteer with them
so that my daughter
gets the opportunity to learn about wildlife rehabilitation
in person even
though she isn't quite old enough to be an official
volunteer yet.
