Hawk (1st posted with new 150-600mm)

I had to crop these quite a bit. This guy was about 75 yards away. I have only had my Tammy 150-600 for a few days and haven't had time to really get out and try it (maybe tomorrow). I was mowing, and this Hawk landed in a dead tree near where I was mowing. So I got my camera and took them from the mower seat. I haven't identified the variety yet.

2nd one looks really good,600mm wow..Not bad at all.

Thanks HoganHeroes,
They are not really sharp. I took them in a hurry before he took off, and at quite a distance. This lens at 600 is fairly sharp uncropped, but when you start some serious crop, you can see the softness. Hey, for $1069 for a 600mm lens, you bet I can live with that.

The lens is known to be a little soft at 600 which is to be expected,but considering everything I think you will get the hang of it and get it to take them even sharper when you find its sweet spot.

500mm is sharper I do know so it goes to show you just the kind of glass you have without breaking the bank,, Not sure of the ID on that Hawk maybe someone else will chime in...Have fun!

This lens is on my most wanted list.

Pretty good, really. I'll hazard a guess at Red Shouldered Hawk.

Nice catch.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Wallace River, yes I agree after looking that up on Cornell.
