    Usually hawks take flight before I can lift my camera. This Red-tailed hawk sat perched for a few minutes before taking to the sky.

    Lovely flight capture and not an easy one to get. He stands out beautifully here with an impressive wing span, too. Great shot, Debra.

    Great action shot of that beautyfuly detailed hawk. The fact he is looking straight at you is a nice add on and the catch light in the eye is perfect. Well done Debra.
