Nikon D7100, AF-S 80-400mm Nikon @400mm, ISO 320, f/8 (#4 f/11), 1/1600. I'm surprised the male isn't smoking a cigarette in #4.

SeamusMac, Thanks for your posting. Your excellent work is appreciated. Actually, i think the hawks did not mate in the sequence. The tail of the female is not ever high enough for the male to eject sperm.

I agree, but it made for a good story. Thanks for the compliments.
Still, quite a balancing act. And love the female hollering like that. "Hurry up. Aren't you done yet?"

Nicely captured interesting behavior. #4 has great DOF. Difficult to get 1 large bird well in focus, let alone 2. Your photos do justice to terrific birds and interesting behavior.
