... 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. :thumbsup:
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!
