Was taking my daily sunspot photo the other day and this happy accident happened. My guess is the hawk(red tail?) that's been hanging around recently but I am by no means an expert... especially with just a silhouette .

It's not something I could even remotely plan for, but I'm really glad it happened.

Gear wise..7D, Sigma 150-500+1.4x, f/8, 1/2000s, 200ISO, and a Baader Solar filter Focus was on the sun

Thanks for looking

Aaron

Absolutely.... Coronal Mass Ejections have nothing Killer Sun Birds.

I'm glad nobody was around when I first saw this scrolling through pics on the LCD... I was scared to death I had fried my sensor!
