I was just thinking about the hawk population where I've been shooting lately... the next good cold front may very well push them further south so opportunities like these may not present themselves so often in the near future. The Red-shoulder hawk shot has no cropping. It just sat there and posed... more concerned with finding food than some one-eyed thing in a white box I guess. The Red-tailed Hawk shot is minimally cropped. It stuck with the carcass when the Turkey Vultures left. The Crested Caracara wasn't too far off but it is cropped    MHampton and Stargazer77517 like this. --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< |

Yeah, these are really good. I love it when I can fill the frame as you did with these. The detail is amazing. --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

The youngsters seem to sit the best. If I could get a Northern Harrier to sit still or at least fly by inside of 100 meters I would be happy... for now I guess I'll be happy with RTH and RSH shots --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< |

Great job Michael! I am assuming you shot these with your big boy lens :) --------------------------- Paul Chance, aChanceEncounter.com “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” Ansel Adams |

Amazing detail, Michael! I can't help but wonder if #3 is eying a potential snack. --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

Thanks everyone. The first one was a total fluke. "Buzzards" flew off of a carcass and landed on the nearby fence as I was driving by. I stopped, backed up actually, to attempt some shots but the sun was blowing everything out. Just before I drove off I looked down to see what they were eating and I saw the hawk. Paul- I've been airing out the 800 a lot lately. --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< |
