After seeing this guy on several different mornings pearched on branches in low light, this morning he briefly landed on a branch that has decent lighting. He was out again grabbing lizards off the ground. Here are two from his brief stop. I believe he is a juvinille because I was able to get very close and fill the frame with him using the 400mm seting (or just hungry and had his mind on some food).. on the 100-400. Comments welcomed!

Nice captures, Keith. This hawk then is the previously posted lizard-eater with the lowered wings? If I remember your comment correctly, you said he sometimes droops his wings and sometimes doesn't. Anyway, another fine job and I prefer #2 as well for the clear blue sky bg.

Awesome shots :cool: .

Well done to getting so close, well at the 400mm end at least to fill the frame.

Both are very nice Keith. It's hard to chose between the two. Both have excellent detail in those beautiful tail feathers. Excellent captures!

Absolutely stunning! You are so lucky he let you get so close. He looks like he was enjoying the sun on his back! Beautiful light, especially in the second shot! Congrats :D
