Description
Immature Red-tailed hawk taking residency on a fence post.
This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.
The Red-tailed Hawk is a bird of open country. Look for it along fields and perched on telephones poles, fenceposts, or trees standing alone or along edges of fields.

Wonderful photograph of a Red-Tailed Hawk perched on a fence, with great "spread wings" pose, colors, perspective, and composition, Elizabeth! (My apolgies for the previous typo!) F/L
