I went out into my front yard for some reason, I can't remember why. When I did I heard a bunch of Blue Jays just squaking really irritated. I looked up in the big old Willow Oak in my back yard and saw a few Chickadees flitting round also making a bunch of racket. I knew something was going on so I srarted scanning the bare tree. Yep, there it was a Red Shouldered Hawk looking around wondering what all the commotion was all about. I went in and grabbed the D500 with the Nikon 200-500 lens attatched. I got off a few shots before it decided he was not very welcomed up there and took off. I tried to will the bird to move out from behind the limbs of the tree too no avail. Drat!
Great capture. Was that a voluntary transfer or an involuntary transfer?
I'm seeing a large halo with banding in the outer portion of the image. I've never noticed that before in images taken with the PF lenses. Is that an artifact of the PF lens design or something else?

A voluntary transfer - kites often exhibit this behavior when the male returns with food and gives it to the female.
You're right, there is an anomaly in this image. Not sure what it is or what caused it, but will look at the original to see what I can find. Good eye, and appreciate you mentioning it.
