My first wild hawk and the second in a series. This was my favorite shot!

Full-view is a must

Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) These birds wait on a high perch and swoop down on prey; they may also patrol open areas in flight. They mainly eat small mammals, birds and reptiles. Throughout their range in the U.S., Red-tailed Hawks receive special legal protections under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. They have a complex relationship with humans, capable of both controlling rodent and other mammalian pests, and of on occasion being one, taking valuable fowl. More

May I use this picture in a power point presentation I'm making for my wildlife science class? I'll give you credit, of course. Please respond A.S.A.P.
