Red Shouldered Hawk Waiting to Pounce!

This guy was searching over the area, probably looking for something to pounce on. It was keeping a close eye on the ground, so must have been some kind or morsel down there for it.

I'd be thrilled to catch such an amazing shot of one of these birds-of-prey.

You asked if I play the saxophone featured in my macro shot... I CAN play it though not very well, most likely because I don't practice on it anymore. Shame on me.

Do you mind telling me what lens you are using?

[Rick]

@jackies365 Not at all. I just got it recently. It's a Tamron 100-400 lens. Have been real pleased with it.
