A moment of raw power and precision—this red-tailed hawk launched skyward near Cerro Summit State Wildlife Area. I only had a split second to catch the lift-off, but what a moment to witness.

Image description: A hawk captured in mid-flight, its wings fully extended as it lifts off from the tip of a tall evergreen tree. The bird’s broad wings display a striking pattern of dark and light feathers, with powerful muscles visible beneath. Its tail feathers fan out slightly for balance, and its talons are tucked neatly beneath its body. The backdrop is a clear blue sky with golden-green treetops below. The image captures the fierce grace of a raptor in motion, seconds after takeoff, framed in crisp detail.
