... the hunt goes on.  Caught this guy with the Fuji in our yard.  He's about 100 feet out.  I shot the first two freehand through the window then, ran back and got the tripod and TCON-17 hoping he would still be there.  He was.  All are uncropped except the for very last one.

Wonderful series, Gary.   

  There was one about his size that kept trying to get to the Martins in their house. I didn't think he would ever stop. I still find the remains of a song bird or dove every week or so but haven't seen a hawk in a while. I've noticed a decline in some of the song birds at the feeders so I know he is intimidating to them. If only the house finches were so deterred. Oh well, a hawk has to eat too.

Jim That looks like a young Red Tail.... He is beautiful.  Glad he stayed around for you.

We have a pair who nest in our roof every year, they are good as they get rid of the snakes and rodents common to farm life.

Excellent pictures!
