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.

Nice sot of this one and it looks like it is unaware of your presence. Nice details and colors. Well done Debra

Perfect setting for this beautiful shot, Debra, with the blue background sky and tree foliage.. they set him off perfectly here. Very nice focus and detail too!

Love that shot Debra. Sharp focus giving beautyful details of the head. Not easy to find a clear spot in that surrounding and you got it nicely.
