Far, far away on a dead tree, my elusive Red-Tailed Hawk perches. I can see it and I can hear it. The only way I could get closer would be to scale an electric fence and cross a large pasture. The large pasture is the home to a huge,scary black Angus bull.
Sigh!!! Someday, the hawk will come closer. :0)
Thank you for your kind responses to yesterday's butterfly pic!!! :0)
Had one that would land on my fence and wait to see which of my little dogs came out. Ended up chasing it away with a broom for several days before it quit "hunting" in my backyard! Love this one at a distance better :)
Reminds me of the hawk I posted the other day. At first I didn't even know it was there on that tall dead tree until I zoomed in. No need to always get a close-up. I like the comp the way it is. Good job.
Think that running away from the bull would be nearly as bad as getting up from the ground shots, but maybe the adrenaline would kick in!! A lovely shot from that distance!
@claireuk Thank you! The fence doesn't scare me as badly as the bull! He's aggressive! I got a little too close to the fence and he started pawing the ground. I can take a hint. I left rather quickly! :0)
Nicely done! As a child I would visit my grandfather who lived next to a pasture full of black angus. The path to the marsh went through that pasture and if the bull was present, I wouldn't set foot in it!
LOL you're letting that fence and a bull get in your way? Just teasing! Whenever I see any raptors, I'm driving. And I don't have appropriate lens if I weren't driving anyway. Well done.
Lovely image, he's a beauty
