Young Blue eyes

Pretty crazy experience with a young Red-tailed Hawk while dealing with Chaos this past week.  Just minding my own business when this hawk decides it wants to try to perch on my window.  A window with maybe a 1/2 inch  of edge to it.  Hercules wasn't very happy about it.  

After a short struggle it finallhy dropped to the ground, looked around a bit, and then hopped over to the downed limb I have left for cover for birds in the winter.  It then hopped up the various branches till it found a comfortable perch.  It just chilled there and allowed me to take over 5 minuts of video, and lots of nice close pictures of it about 25 feet away from me.  Even allowed me to lift up the window so I wasn't shooting through the glass.  

It wasn't till after I went through my pictures that I noticed two things.  One it had a full crop, which is probably why it wanted some place to chill, and two it had these amazing blue eyes.  Apparently when they are really young they can have grey/blue eyes before they turn the yellow I am used to seeing.  So this little one is probably the offspring of the resident pair that are nearby, and very recently out of the nest.
