Red-tailed hawk in flight

I see these beautiful raptors every day hunting from the tops of power poles. They are not disturbed by passing traffic but if you pull off the road and stop you had better be ready to get the shot.

Looks like you just got the shot before he left for parts unknown...nice catch of a launch, even a little catch light in the eye!

Great shot!
I tried it a few times too...
Finally last week in south-Thailand. I tried to get an White-tailed Sea Eagle, flying high above me....
I had a few chances, but I did not get him sharp.
So I know what a great job it is!

Nice detail in the bird. They are definitely fun to chase but difficult to get them to cooporate. Best opportunities are if you can find a pair nesting. They hang around and yell at you and give you plenty of flight pops. Good image but definitly needs to be lightened up a bit.
