Good god, I didn’t realize red-tailed hawks were that large to have feathers that size.
To be fair, much like land-owls (cats, as they are sometimes referred), the shape of an owl is quite fluid. This guy looks squatted down and tucked in as far as he’ll go.
I looked up the length of the RTH tail feather, and it and the owl should both be between 7-9 inches / 18-23 cm.
Here’s a Screech using proper posture.
