A realistic showing of a bird in flight, two as a matter of fact.

Come to Mama,

That is closer, and it is a pair: pretty.............but not close enough, so I follow a bird with my lens, and the darn bird flies into the sun:

Someone probably thought this was going to have a happy ending with a great raptor shot. Not so, this is a "reality" show!

My reach is like that in the first shot.. Good eye.

Thanks, Trish, the darn birds were playing like that. They would go way over there, then come closer to me.................they sure weren't go for some stump to pose on.

Yesterday, where I was, the Snowys took off playing, too. Yesterday there were too many trees, the lens couldn't get a focus. But with those hawks, I was in an observation tower. Nothing between me and them except for lots of space.

I hate to be the one to tell you this Ginger, but these are turkey vultures,
not hawks. You'll be waiting a long time for them to sit and pose for you.
These darn birds soar all day long.

But they're still good pics.

A up close look.

Nice shots folks. Ginger.....be careful. Keep moving...and DON'T SIT DOWN!!! :D If you see a flock of these guys circling over head.....quick..send me your camera equipment. :huh :uhoh :thumb (jk). Did you use that fancy 400mm on these, Ginger? I need to get me one of those bad boys. I really want that f/2.8 version. My itty bitty 200mm isn't cuttin....capturing the burhds. :cry
