Hawk Poses For Close-Up: Photo Of The Day

FREMONT, CA — Tong and Huanran Mao captured an up-close photo of a hawk while strolling Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area in Fremont Wednesday afternoon.

"I believe the hawk is a red-tailed hawk, most likely scouting the area to hunt ground squirrels," Huanran said.

Ornithologists are welcomed to weigh in on the species specifics. Let us know in the comments section.
