Here is another picture of the hawk.
Could it be a red shoulder hawk?
Help Identify this bird.
I believe it is a hawk but not sure what kind. Is it a young red tail?
I went back to look at the picture history and the lens was at 810mm on a mono-pod. The camera is a Nickon P-500.
Shot @ F 5.7 1/250 ISO- 560
I will be on the look out for the spoon bills.

This bird did not seem to mind being stalked.
Rarely do you get the chance to catch a Gator feeding and this guy was having trouble getting the fish lined up with his throat.
Are you going to show it to her?
If so I would love to hear her reaction.
Which picture did you like?
I took the bold liberty to turn back time on your photo. I am trying to learn this process and practice on as many subject that I can find.
Please comment on which version you like and also what your wife says.
I see these birds occasionally and they are elusive and camafloged. What size lens did you need to get that great shot?
Battery running down - I notice not taking the lens cap off causes the motor amps to spike up, which reduces battery life.
These ducks swam into the shot and made it a little more interesting. Shot with a Nikon P-500 at 36X handheld.
I was using the range finder to help stablize the camera, truth is I forgot my mono pod.
The camera is a Nikon P-500 shot at 36X or 810mm
Question - Is the mechanical freezing occuring in outdoor temps or do you experience it when used inside the house in like 70 degrees.
