Soaring Red-Tailed Hawk

[c.j.]

Took this one on the 10th of the month.


Red-Tailed Hawk Buteo jamaicensis




This one has been hunting the grounds every day.

It's a little soft.

I have a couple of the same bird on his latest greatest favorite perch taken the same day. I'll post them, next

I can only hope to catch my prey in as beautiful a scene as you have here. Nice shot! Good work CJ

[Copy_Kot]

Another great shot CJ. How many images do you through out? I haven't seen an image of yours I didn't like.

CJ, hawks in flight are not as easy as they look(as you surely know), so I think this is a good shot by all means.

Indeed! Just the fact that you can even get a decent "soft" shot would be great, this is wonderful.

Well captured CJ! beautiful bird.

As Paulnj says they are'nt easy to get, i have a female Kestrel which hunts at a nearby park and she has proved to be a challenge! especially against dull skys or the other, very bright days, if its not shadows,its getting in the right position! excellent.

Thanks for the compliments, everybody!!!

I had intended to post more, but things got real busy around here.

I'll try again, this week.
