Awkward Landing

I was taking shots of a kestrel when I heard a ruckus & this juvenile red-tailed hawk landed in the tree right by me. It landed on branches too small to support it & there was much flapping of wings and teeter tottering involved with the landing. I got this shot right before the branch broke under it. Teenage awkwardness.
