We have several hawks that frequent the area. Caught this one having dinner in the back yard lemon tree.

Truly a bird with dignity and grander! Fantastic pictures!
Thanks GC for taking time to view and comment. Due to the time and lighting I had to push the ISO further than I normally like. Wasn't sure how they would turn out.

What do you mean, "Pushing the ISO further" ? Make the sensitivity appear greater? With film, the sensitivity = the sensitivity of the film. So I just don't understand. It's one part of the Exposure triangle I'm a little unsure of.

So a Sharp-shinned Hawk, I presume. Great photos of it, they really help the identification! (assuming I id'd it right!)

Well, it was almost 6:00pm and the hawk was in the shadows. So to get shots that were not blurred by movement I was using the following settings (Aperture-priority AE, 1/200 sec, f/8, ISO 6400) and there was noticeable noise in the darker areas that I had to deal with. I usually like to keep the ISO below 400 - actually 100 is my preferred choice. Fortunately with digital cameras the ISO on every picture can be changed. Film is not so forgiving. You cannot change ISO in the middle of the roll.

Or maybe a adolescent Cooper's Hawk. It is so hard to tell at times. We have both Cooper's and Red Tailed in the area. Thanks for looking and commenting. I really appreciate the input.
