Since I don't have a tele photo lens yet, it has been hard to get close enough to get a shot of the Red-tail hawks in our neighborhood, but this juvenile let me just get close enough to get the detail of his face I have been trying to catch.

I have a Cannon EFS 55-250mm. 1/500 sec, f/9. I keep the speed high when trying to catch birds that may move at my slightest movement. These Hawks are hard to get close to if they know you are there.

This is an adult that I caught at about 75 yards with a small lens.
