Wow, excellent shooting ...

Wow you look that you got very close.

Very nice images, Mitch. I believe the bird is an immature Red-tailed hawk, however.

Wonderful images! Nice detail!

Thanks everyone! I did get close, he was hovering directly above me at one point. I love lucky days like that!

Yes, it's definitely a Redtail. I got nailed for that in another forum! Sorry for the misinformation, I can promise that it won't be the last time I get it wrong! Most of the people in this forum can attest to that
