p.1 #1 · Redtail part II WARNING Hawk Feeding


Honoring the great Mr. Z00MS request, here are some images from my recent shoot with the Redtail. This time, mouse gore included.

#1
15 minutes after I arrived he came out of the tall grass and bolted past me. Forgive the clipped frame but I had little time to react.

#2
This is where he/she lit a short distance from the flight shot

#3
And proceeded to rip and tear

All done and savoring the moment

This morning in addition to the 500 on monopod, I slung on the 40D with my 200mm f/4 due to being able to get so close. It's been a great couple of days with this teen Hawk. I got many many frames I will treasure.

Excellent job on all of these, enough to make any raptor lover jealous. I like the headshot best.

Holy mackerel Mr Sanders, that is one heck of a close up experience. I kept looking at the exif looking for 400-500mm and looked right past 70mm,89mm, man you have a trusting pal here with this RTH!

The pictures are stunning Tom, #7 just blows me away the feeling in it! Incredible eye detail in #6, don't think I have seen one like that before, wow buddy! I guess that gives good meaning to 'on the chopping block'. Excellent and they made me tingle

Stunning work Tom, fabulous! Oh dear, I got so close to a juvy today, 10 meters at almost eye level, I knew I had you beat! Damn, glad I didn't post any of my sticks in the way obstructed stuff the same day you post this!!! You cleaned my clock brother.

Top notch work Tom, amongst the best, congrats you should be proud.
