    Let's just say I got the shot. Red-Tailed Hawk

    I was at class on campus today. I walked outside and saw a crow in distress then saw a Red-Tailed Hawk chase the crow and the crow also nipped at the Hawk. After running to see the hawk, it flew down and got a mouse. The picture of the hawks portrait was taken about 12 ft away with a Canon 7D and Canon 400mm f/5.6L. Thanks for viewing. I got damn lucky.
