My Red Tailed Hawk.

I was going out my front door this afternoon around 3:30 when I saw this hawk off in the distance coming toward the house. Oh, yay, I thought. I stepped back inside and grabbed my camera. I only had my 200mm lens on the camera but I did not care.
Moving Fast.
Getting closer.
Bam! Got him!

Nice shots.
It's hard to get them in the right light. Mine like to stay between me and the sun.

Thanks. I did miss the most perfect shot with this guy. He was almost directly over me banking away from the sun. Very beautiful. But I just was not quick enough to locate him in my viewfinder before he went behind a tree. Too bad.Nice shots.

Great shooting, Good eye for spotting him in the first place. You're not an old duck or goose hunter by chance?
