I took these this morning. Barred Owl and Red-tailed hawk posed for portraits

Impressive wildlife portraits. Sharp too.

Are these cropped, or were you close with long lens?

Ha ha. 500mm lens limits how close I can get

Thanks. These are cropped. I was using a 500mm lens. I was about 10ft from both. The hawk flew towards me an landed right beside me . I was walking in the woods and looked up and the owl was staring down at me from a branch

Are you wearing a meat ghillie suit when your shooting?

I can't even get within ten feet of a sparrow let alone a hawk! Nice work. Beautiful shots.

That hawk is incredible. Beautiful shot!

I think you must have Tarzan as a hiking buddy.

I usually prefer action shots when it comes to animals but the close-up of the owl is captivating.
