My wife and I were talking near Blue Heron Pond on Saturday when a Redtail flew in and landed on a nearby branch.

  He seemed not to care about our presence, and I was able to get within 20 yards to take a few photos.

   I liked the way his reddish tail feathers matched the autumn leaves nearby.

   When we left the pond area several minutes later, he was still perched on the same branch.
