Got these two with early morning sun. I need to work on my spot focusing on the head/eyes. Learning something new everytime I go out! Thanks for looking!

They look real nice to me, color of the bird is a bit diff then the ones i"ve seen in So. Calif., geographic variation I presume.

I'm only a visitor to FL and some of the locals on the trail said the FL variant is very pale.

Aah, those toes sticking out in the second shot makes him look so cute! Very nice shots, Chris.

#2 is lovely, did you use a flash for fill or is that sun glint in the eyes?

Very nice, Chris, particularly the second one. I love Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Every time I go to Florida, it's high on my list of places to visit. Early morning is definitely the place to be there as it's quiet!

Way to go, Chris. I don't know if the bright sun made this one look paler than normal, or if he is simply paler than others. No question the Florida RSH can be paler than the typical eastern RSH, as shown in this web site:http://www.allaboutbir​ds.org/guide/red-shouldered_hawk/id (external link) . The ones I normally see aren't quite that pale. It may also be age related, I suppose.

North central Florida coast, Oak Hill, Volusia county, on the opposite side of the state. The hawks here do have a deeper coloration.

No fill flash above, shot around 8 AM last weekend. Here's another further along the trail with darker colors....
