This Red-tailed Hawk was in my yard a long time eating an adult rabbit.







Yellow-rumped Warbler





Northern Mockingbird



When he first came in he was imitating the first part of a Northern Flickers call.

Thank you very much! The RTH was about 75 feet away at the back of the yard. They really are gorgeous birds.

All the more impressive! Using 500mm ...(+TC?)



Very good shots indeed,

Hi Kenn, I used a Sigma 50-500mm lens. No TC involved.

I shot in Manual-Ap.F8 SS-1/1000
