Hm, can't believe I'm first...but I'll accept the honor if I am! Love the dark morph RTH whether it's in blue skies or no, Tim; he's a beauty. And In Your Face he certainly is! I nearly always have the 500/1.4 on when they decide to take off -- and I'm too close. And the Ol' Standby is lookin' good in that light...
Best Wishes,
Steve
P.S. Awww, 2nd place was due to the wordy reply...

So that's the secret I leave and the Hawks show up for Tim
Your perseverence and patience always reward buddy, 3 beauties of the Hawk, especially the take-off! Good to see you found the Blue as I thought he had headed for the hills Another super fine installment my friend, till next time bro
What a cool find Tim! Wonderful rich colors on the RT. I am thinking the BG in #2 is a bit too strong of blue? Maybe that shadow on the head could easily be cloned as I am guessing you must have removed the branch that cast it I sure like this dark-morph stage, just beautiful!
Wow that third shot is wild man, talk about coming right at you Very nice light and presentation on the GBH, good shooting Mr Steady hands

You paid the price of babbling to much!! We can count it as first, just don't tell Dan
Thanks for the good words Steve. I am not kidding, he almost flew into me when he dove, pulling up about 10 feet away!

Wow Tim I really like the lighting on first one. Dramatic and all that. What a beauty. I really like them all but that's my favourite.

Thank you Rob!! The young ones tend to cooperate better than the older experienced birds.
