it's weird how we see mostly red tails when the broad winged hawk is most bundant. haven't seen one in a while.

i thinks its a very cool shot. i can never catch them so lol it has to be good

But is there such a thing as the perfect shot?

This one's got a lot going for it - lovely light, nice position of the wings, great composition. I like it a lot!

Of course there isn't.. doesn't stop me from
trying to get it just in case it is possible.

I really like this shot as well! I think this is a Light Juvenile Broad-winged Hawk and not a Red-Tailed Hawk, but I'm no expert by any means.

Very nice shot.
So what would be the perfect hawk shot?

Good sky, perfect focus, gopher in his claws, and a good pose, great light.
