Thanks, Tim. It was later in the day than the golden hour, but the cloud action did produce some nice light.

The light while bright seems to be fairly even.

Great series, great captures, Mike...the BIF is a "Rough-legged hawk" and not a Ferruginous hawk.

Wow Mike what a great set. The Ferruginous Hawk BIFs are great
Jack...No.'s 5,6,7 & 8 are of a Rough-legged hawk...notice the small beak and small talons and the absence of "ferruginous" color on the shoulders and back.

Very nice Mike, I am particularly impressed with the center hawk set.
Thanks, Joe. I was fortunate that I had the hawk focused while at rest so my tracking followed his flight.

I appreciate the encouraging comments, Jim. He was a great poser.
