Red tail hawk portraits

Pretty sure this is the same hawk we've photographed in this same area before, because the bird is not very concerned about our presence.

Canon 7D2, 200-400 lens at 400 mm, f/4, 1/1600, ISO 200.

Beautiful shots.

Great shots. Love the first one.

Very nice and sharp. Do you take these from a tripod or hand held?

I was using a monopod.

Thank you Shackleton.

Here's another from the "portrait session", before I worked my way around to the front.
