I see this young red tailed quite often, and I think he is quite relaxed at my presence, I was about 4 meters away from his branch. He was more bothered by the squirrels harassing him than me. Maybe I don't look hungry, and you can see why. :D  :D

4 meters away, eh? I hope you saw what was coming at the last photo and took evasive action. Great set of shots.

Thanks Dinu. He was attracted to the actions in my feeder. Normally he would perch on the dead tree further away. He came rather close today. I hoped so much to take a clean shot of him taking off or in flight. Failed! So much to learn from pros like you.

On your first shot ... what does the RTH have in its talon?
Is it a remote control? That's it! How brilliant of you.
You installed a flat screen outside to attract birds.
For the hawk's sake, I suggest you turn the screen around
because this hawk will likely break its neck trying to rectify
the picture. It's only a myth that raptors see the world upside-down.
By the way, what programming are you streaming?

Learning from the pros? Indeed, the pros never considered a TV.
The partially melted casino dice are a nice touch although I'm not
sure of their significance but I like the way you think.

A couple of squirrels were haunting him close by, running up and down. Being a youngster, that got him. He was looking at them turning his neck almost 360 degree, with me 4 metre away. Shall I try to offer bik meat or something? :D

Ally, I would not recommend feeding a hawk unless you are raising one from a rescue.
