red-tail BIF

such a pleasant day, i had to get outta the house, so i took a trip to Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland. pretty quiet for the most part, but i got this shot of a red-tail hawk just as i was about to leave the park....he was probably about 75 yards away, so this is a pretty significant crop. 40D, 400mm, 1/1000 @ f/8.

Wow! Even though he's the same colour as the background he stands out very clearly thanks to the excellently sharp capture. Very well done, squirl033. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very well captured, especially under the less than ideal conditions.

great capture
