Nice series, Mike, you birder you! IMHO, image #7 is your best BIF shot and I see a band on the hawk's leg. Very cool capture.

Well, Bubba, I keep in two plastic sleeves the PM you sent me years ago on bird shooting. Any time things do not work, I go back to those words and see where I messed up. So, I really appreciate your comments.

Mike

The main road into Farmington Bay is much closer to the main pond and hunting areas for the raptors. This produces more photo ops.

The first four shots are the results of my waiting for this kestrel (from two vantage points) to launch. Of course, he flew away as I drove away. The hawk (ID?) was much more cooperative and launched just after I focused on him. The other hawk (ID?) was a considerable distance away, but the long lens captured him.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
