Red-Tailed Hawk--Big Red--Illustration

Where I reside my neighbors are often the Red-tailed Hawk. It is a common prey bird. It is not a falcon. I see "Big Red" catching mice, small birds, and trying for pheasant and quail. Big Red stay around about 9 months of the year and is gone during dove and quail season.
Art Work: Watercolor, ink, and colored pencil.
Size: 11x 17

Posting of Illustration/Design Work

The illustration work is being reformatted to fit the requirements of the blog site. I am having troubles with the conversions. What I have posted so far are items from my personal photo collection. Any help in the conversion process, posting sizes of work, and if there is a way to edit the template (change it to my own design-not pre-formatted) would be great.

Bees and a Wasp Share a Milkweed Flower Ball
