This red tail hawk was amazingly tolerant, I was able to walk about 5 feet from him and shoot these! It seems most likely he'd just eaten and wanted to digest in peace, he eventually flew to the other side of the pond where he could have some privacy.

Thanks for looking,
BOB

Wow, really surprised it let you get that close, Bob.

Great portraits, with the first as my favorite because of the eye contact.

All are beautifully detailed Bob. The second is my pick for the head position and the transition line leading to the eye

Wow, that is amazing! Love the detail. I'm quite jealous you were able to get so close to a red tailed hawk. Impressed the background is blown out very nicely, that has a "600mm f/4" look.

Thanks, it helped being five feet from the hawk with a distant background!

Thanks Rex, I believe it was an adult, the tail's not showing in the images I posted!
