A Juvenile Red Tail

This guy was sitting in a tree as I was driving by, and I couldn't help but stop and take his picture.  He looked fairly cold hanging out looking for an unsuspecting mouse or vole to show themselves.  

The white chest is a great way to identify these birds from afar--and the red tail of course which was seen when he traded views for another tree.  


And in case you are wondering..i was stopped in the middle of the road, near a curve while taking his picture.  In my defense it was a quiet back road, and I had my flashers on!!!
