    Default Red-shouldered Hawk

    5D, 500mm, 2xTC, ISO320, 1/125, f/9, car as blind. Taken at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve on December 3rd. The hawks always preferred the few man made perches on the entry road to hunt from -- not attractive, but it did place them close to the road!

    Welcome, Christina
    I think today we have to accept the perches that the birds choose as they are a part of their habitat that we've created. You've captured a beautiful hawk with excellent detail. The background is very complimentary to him as well. I personally like the lighting on him....rather dramatic and really adds to the mood. Well done.

    Hi Christina,

    I like the dramatic side lighing on this Hawk. It creates a nice moody feeling to the image. Very nice bg too. Well done!
