Red-shouldered Hawk Portrait

I decided on my last day in the Everglades (for this trip) that I would rent a bike and bike out West Road at Shark Valley as far as time allowed. I had no more than left the parking lot when I passed this Red-shouldered Hawk sitting on the “No-In-Line-Skates” sign just about at eye-level. I though, “he will be off as soon as I stop the bike” but when I stopped, about 30 feet in front of him, he sat there for long enough for me to get the camera out and  for a sequence of shots at two different focal lengths. That is what I call cooperative. And, other than rehabilitation birds, you simply do not get opportunities like this!
