My Favorite Juvi RT survived his year

[coastalconn]

This is a juvenile hawk I photographed quite a bit last winter. I was driving along by the beaches today and sure enough there he was just chilling on a powerline. Last time I saw him was 3/15... I know it's the same hawk because he completely ignores me. So much I did a portrait session with him with the 300 with and without TC and the 500 with and without TC. He just chilled in the tree. It was really awesome as I was only 15 feet away at times. I caught him grabbing somekind of rodent in the marsh so he had a full belly.. thanks for looking and comments welcome

Thanks Sniper and Jr. George Jr. has been around, but he has been too far up in a tree to get any good shots. He was actually alerted me to this Osprey the other day because I saw him look behind me intently.. He was probably wondering why the Osprey was eating the fish backwards from tail to head.. I know I was
