Red-tailed hawk

Lucky to have this one hop from fence post to fence post for me this last weekend.

beautiful
yes - some privilege
very nicely captured

It's funny how sometimes they won't let you get anywhere near them and other times they will do what your bird did - land right next to you and let you take lots of photos!

Nicely done!

Great shots!!

Really cool shot. I have been wanting to capture more photos of hawks but generally it is hard to get close to them. With 300mm, were you fairly close?

Thank you. Yes, I was fairly close. I was in my vehicle on the opposite side of the road. Maybe 20 - 30 yards.

Darn things always fly when I stop....

Great capture

He flew on me a couple of times, the first was from one fence post to another about 3-4 down the road. Then the second time, he flew into the field. That is when I got the second photo.
