hawk

[dbaker1221]

red tail I think............it took off as soon as I slowed the car, so I was kind of shooting from the hip. I was surprised I got anything even this good..I think the second shot is best but do like the flowers in the first.

Nice! Birds of prey are such photogenic birds aren't they? :clap

That is definitely a red tailed hawk. They are skittish beyond belief. Nice quick capture.

The 2nd is definitely better :thumb The noise is a bit disturbing in the first

I like the first one, Dave. :thumb

If the splotches in the background is distracting to you, just run a blur brush over it.

Good capture of a difficult subject.
