Red Shoulder Hawk

[Oscar Zangroniz]

My version of a Red Shoulder Hawk from yesterday at Corckscrew Sanctuary. This guy had just caught a frog and was waiting for the right moment to start his lunch. I have my bail money ready for the HA police. But this was the best shot I could take from the angle I had due to the number of visitors watching this guy.

Nikon D300, 300mm w/ 1.4 tc, 420mm, F4, 1/320, ISO 400, Aperture Priority, Exposure Comp - 1/3, Tripod used.

Hi Oscar - Love the lighting and the fantastic sharp details Not crazy about the angle of capture but sometimes you take what you can get. :)

Am I seeing double:). I like it very much Oscar sharp and good details. Don't mind the HA too much. Well done. Like the lighter colours in this one too.

Head angle is not that bad Oscar ... but hand on to the bail money :) Could use a little head tilt .... head tilt police got you .. hand over the money :)

Really like the clean bg It is some kind of difficult coming up with one at the Swamp !!! Try selecting the eye and enhancing a bit !!!

Oscar, nice detail and beautiful BG ! great job!!!

[Sid Overbey]

Nice capture. I like the closeness and don't mind the angle at all. The blue BG is a nice complement to the bird. Well done.

Hi Oscar,
I like the colors on the bird and the blue background. The eye is sharp and the details in the feathers are nice and crisp. I don't have any passes to get out of jail...the HA Police are looking at you; but thats ok, You can slide this time...I told them that you were going to do much better on this point...:D
