Red Tailed Hawk today.

Found a mating pair of Red Tailed Hawks working on a nest today, pretty high up but I just had to take the shots anyway. Cropped-in so they can be seen here.

Thank you. I don't think these are partucularly good either, but I know where they are building their nest so I hope to get better shots of them soon. I only had a 300mm with me today because of the overcast skies, I will have my 500mm with me when I go back.

Probably won't be until May Molly. But I will be checking on them regularly as the nest is fairly close to one of the places I go to shoot the immature bald eagles that I have posted on here from time to time.

Well, I think they are great shots! ;)
All I have is a P&S, couldn't get real good ones of mine but someday I will have a decent lens & camera :)

Thanks Rachel. I snapped about 50 shots, posted the ones that best showed their tails.

I like seeing the pattern in the feathers when they are spread out as in image #2.
Good catch!!!

Thanks Pat. I wanted to get their backs too but at that height they wouldn't bank hard enough to show them to me. All the shots I got were from almost underneath them because of all the trees around. I only got about 2 minutes or less with clear sky between us.
