There are no shortage of Red-tailed hawks in my area, but getting a good shot of one has proven to be a real challenge. This weekend everything seemed to fall into place as I finally found myself in the right place with the right lighting. To say these birds are incredible would be an understatement.

Very nice shots! Sharp! I would know to know what metering mode you used when shooting them? I tried once and the bird turned into silhouette.
😕
krizcpec my meter setting is spot meter for these types of shots. I seem to get the best results this way.
Thanks!
Wow!!! Very impressive photos!!! Which lenses do you use to make this shots?
I saw one of these yesterday, It flew right in fromt of me when i was drivin down the road!!! It flew into a tree where I could see it great! I stoped and lookes till it wondered off. I wish I had my camera but i didnt! Great experience though!!!! KIMMIE
They’re always a sight to behold. Glad to hear you had a great encounter.
