Redtail hunting.

Found this guy on the side of the road on a high line pole. He was nice enough to move to the tree on the other side of the road.

Nice set but that is a juvenile red shouldered hawk

My fave is #2, but I also like the odd power pole stuff in #1.

Nice set, I quite like 1 as the hawk is framed in the powerline thingy, 2 would be a dead winner if the front of the hawk wasn't in shade. All the beautiful details and features hiding away in there.

Nice shots, looks like he was quite obliging!

#1 is my favorite. It's what I would call an environmental bird of prey portrait. Street hawk shooting by Ron Lane.... Lol

Nice shots. I like #1 as well.

Judging by his expression, you must look a lot like a large mouse! Nice set.

Thanks ZombiesniperJr. I am still new to identifying them but I know enough to shoot them. lol.

Thanks Derrel. I was glad that he got off of the power pole but I was able to get closer to him on those shots.

I agree, I shot about 6-8 shots from that angle, which was more into the sun than back lite.
