Made my day

The other day I saw a hawk fly across main street in front of me. (rather large hawk for this area)

Immediately thought about your images.

Wish I would have had my camera, he had a squirrel in his claws.


***Edit***

I had my camera and I was driving. Not a good combination to try.

 

[Pejacre]

Superb - man you're good.

 

[Britanica]

Wow these are beautiful! To be able to capture birds good takes skill!

 

[ruifo]

Really beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing!!

 

[D7K]

Great set!

Nice Pics!!!! I see on Flickr that you used a 150.0-600.0 mm lens. Is that the Tamron?

I tend to slam on my brakes and hit the blinker thingy. I'm sure I've pissed off a few people, but I have learned if you see something cool, you have to stop then and there. I used to turn around and go back, but it was always too late!

Yes sir.. all with the Tamron

Just wish I lived in a raptor rich environment. Once in awhile I'll get an Osprey with a catch but rarely the opportunity for the snag as they mostly fish quite a ways offshore,. Good captures, every one.

Excellent shots. Gotta love #7, Learning to Land.
