Itsed65 Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 01, 2015 20:49 | #1 I was out watching an Osprey nest on Mare Island California, when I heard a tremendous commotion in the air behind me. The unmistakable screech of a red-tailed hawk, then another. The hawks of the island are excellent snake hunters, and I guess there was a dispute going on. Looks like they got the snake right as it was moulting. 7D2 with 500mm.

Jun 02, 2015 20:07 | #14 Thanks to everyone. It was truly a right time at the right place moment, as I had my 500 trained on the Osprey nest when I heard all the commotion and just had to aim up and fire away. Fuji XT-2, XT-3, Sony A1, A7RIV, A9, and an OM-1
