He's There Again!

On my way home from the store today, I looked for my friend, the Red-shouldered Hawk at his favorite spot on a wire along the road. Sure enough, he was there! It has to be a good spot for hunting! I was able to maneuver the car around to get a close shot, and was pleased with the result. So, here you are, another hawk photo. I can't help it, I never get tired of seeing them. It is always a thrill. This time of year the hawks seem to show up, in late fall and early winter. And this was a favorite spot for a hawk last year. Could it be the same one?

He’s thinking “Is that a Z6 you have there?”

Love all the colors in the plumage. You and the Z6 did a good job capturing the color and detail shooting against the sky.

Such a sharp capture of this magnificent hawk. That focus peaking seems to work quite well!
