Roadside Diner

Came around a corner in my car and screeeech...here was this hawk.I hit the brakes grab my camera out of the other seat and started firing away. Id be embarrassed to say how many shots I took so lets just say plenty. I even had time to mount a flash since he didn't seem bothered by my presence at all. Both of us caught up in our moments,sweet bliss for someone who doesn't own a super tele!

Thanks Andrew,I think its a young Red tail maybe that's why he didn't fly off.

Love the rich color and detail in these images... beautiful shots.

great shots Pete

Marvelous shots, Pete. An unexpected opportunity that you took full advantage of. Well done!

Beautiful shots Pete, what a lucky find, you did very well. I know what you mean, 50 shots can go by quickly!

Very cool series and he looks hungry !

How fortunate you were; great job.
