Red-tailed Hawk series

I had an awesome encounter with a Red-tailed a couple of days ago. This guy (or gal?) let me get closer than any hawk ever has, and let me shoot photos for almost an hour. He switched trees twice and eventually went after something on the ground, unfortunately coming up empty. Thanks for looking!

Wow, beautiful set even the b/w has appeal, excellent work!

A great series!

I especially like #4. Thanks for sharing.

Nice series. I really like all the expressions you captured.

Well done series, congrats on the cooperative bird.

Thanks for the comments. It really was a special chance for me. I have made many attempts at photographing hawks, with various degrees of success. This one gave me the best opportunity by far.
