040910 Soaring

This morning I went out to take some pics,
but wasn't real happy with what I had
taken. Later in the afternoon I decided
to change lens and see if maybe I could catch
a hummer, didn't find any. This hawk flew
over my head. He was flying low enough, so
I was able to get a few shots off.

Love the wing tips. Nice job capturing the gracefulness.

Ah, to have the ability to just glide through the air...
Well captured.

Neat capture. It looks so graceful and free,

Great shot - I know how difficult these birds are to catch on the move - you've done a great job!

Great capture.

Hawk or vulture....it is beautiful. I've tried to catch them and it is hard. Great job.

Really nice, Katie. Love the blues in the sky and the simplicity of the shot. Just the soaring bird and the blue sky - lovely!!

Bet it felt good to end up with such a great shot after all your effort.

I agree with Wes, it's a vulture...great photo, though.

That looks more like a turkey vulture. Its fun to chase birds, good shot.

Of course packing a big lens helps (;-) and I love what you were able to do. Good job.
