My last decent shot of 2018

[Jeff G]

Sunday afternoon, spotted a Red Tail Hawk being harassed by a smaller bird, couldn't tell what it was until I got home and could review my shots. It appears to be a Kestrel, he was quite territorial and wasn't having any of that Red Tail trespassing on his turf.

They were at the extreme limit of my 600mm but the hawk did make a flyby before he departed.
