I'd have to say you bagged it!! It does look like a RTH to me, what a close up , congrats ! very nicely done.

Oh wow! How gorgeous! I love the close-ups, the eyes are beautiful.

How on earth did you get that close?

Did you climb up into the tree with him or did you use a ladder

How much of a crop is this? Excellent close ups in any case the second and third are real sweet..

avwh · 1st of March 2008 (Sat)

Was this RTH out partying the night before? I think his eyes are still bloodshot.

Terrific shots, HWP.

Thank you Bea. Glad you like them.

He/she flew down from the tree (I was removing my TC from the camera when it flew down.. OF COURSE!!) and landed behind a fence... must have seen some food... I peeked through a couple of missing boards in the fence and there it was.. about 5 to 10 feet away.. Lucky on that one!

Thank you Gary.. They are all about 50% crop. It was very close... apparently fixed on some food and could have cared less about me.. He knew I was no threat
