Hawks, hawks, and some more hawks

[Loupey]

OK, so it seems I can find them now no problem. Today I used my 4500 pound mobile blind (my truck) to follow these guys. Too many crazy joggers this afternoon (in still sub-zero temps) frightening these guys away

All with the 300mm + 2x TC. I got too close for the 2nd image - it is full frame.

Trying to diversify with different angles and flight images. I must say it is very difficult to manually focus on a flying hawk. Much more so than on a flying dragonfly which flies in a more-or-less predictable pattern.

ISO 400 for the first two. ISO 800 for the remaining to try to get a sharp hawk in the dimming light. I find ISO 800 to be too high with the 30D (too noisy, blotchy, & flat).
