I was able to spend a few mornings this season up on Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands watching the raptor migration. These subjects are always a bit challenging for me...they tend to be either be barely visible in the distance, or, less often, swooping in too fast and close to get in the frame. I was able to get a few and thought I'd share some.
