Red-Tailed Hawk (Part 2)

I cannot believe how remarkably skittish these birds are even when you are a significant distance from them. I have to say I got extremely lucky with this bird. I don't normally get so seem them "this" close. Crops (sadly) are nearly 1:1 since they are so jumpy.

Nevertheless, these are great examples. Love 3 and 4 where he's just taking off. Ya done good!

Nice shots! They are wary birds and tough to work with.

Thanks... I don't fancy myself as a "birder" and I certainly don't have the equipment for it... Each and every experience like this gives me some good practice on how to use what I have. And, I enjoy being outdoors with my big black beast (dog, not camera).

Well captured. Most large birds are very skittish IME.

Great four, 1 and 4 are my picks.

Thanks again....

C&C is welcome! Processing? Cropping? Framing? It's the only way I learn to "see" better...
