    Was shooting some close-ups of this cooperative Red-tailed Hawk, when he flipped his head over and yawned.

    Canon 1D IV, EF800 f5.6L + 1.4 II,ISO 800, f/25, 1/400, Normal Lightroom exposure adjustments, slight crop for composition. All comments welcome.

    Excellent example of anisocoria. I guess birds' eyes work independently. Love the pose even though it makes my neck hurt. Was this a full verticle crop?

    LOVE the head angle Cool & quirky photo. I like the slight shadow on the right side of the bird's face with half the eye still catching the light.
