I've been reading the UHH forum for over a year where I learn something new almost every day and decided to register. I enjoy wildlife photography and have been practicing with birds-in-flight. I also read everything I can from Steve Perry. I was able to capture several images of Northern Harrier Hawks in flight that I was happy with. Here are two images to share. Please share your comments and suggestions for improvements. I'm eager to keep learning. Thanks!

I also used a 1.4TC at f8 at 1/2500 sec. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks. Farmington Bay, Utah. There are quite a few Northern Harrier Hawks hunting in the marshes near the dikes this time of year.

Steve welcome to the forum. I also like Birds In Flight. Your images are right on. Steve is a good teacher also. Have fun.

Beautifully photographed! Now that you're official, Steve, go to the bottom of the page and click on "all sections." Subscribe to the areas of interest so that you will see entries in your "newest topics" link (top of page) or in the daily digest if you're logged in.

The digest contains just a sampling: for example, 35 spots are allotted to Photo Gallery, which can see 100 topics posted in a day! And until you log in, you won't see any from the specialty sections, as I mentioned. Best to learn to use "newest topics" and then plan to spend several hours here each day

Most of the forums have guidelines which you can find on their home pages. Your northern harrier topic should have been placed in Gallery or another section such as birds in flight since main discussion is just that. Admin will move your topic, though; no worries.
