Gotcha! by lauriehiggins

Gotcha!

This hawk has been circling my house all week. I hear him constantly, but every time I grab my camera he disappears. Today I finally captured him. I wish I could have gotten his immense wingspan, but I'm happy I finally got a photo of him.

YOu don't have any sall dogs do you? We had one hanging arounbd our place, and we were worried about the pups being outside. The hawk would swoop down after the rabbits and other birds.

this is amazing! great capture
I find it impossible to photograph birds..its so hard
even the autofocus on my lens can scare them away and I can never get close enough with 200mm
awesome
