Meet Red T. Hawk Part #1

I was sitting in my camera wagon under a tree having a cup of coffee when this hawk showed up. I grabbed a few shots and thanked him for his time. I was surprised when he answered "You welcome and also lucky" I had to ask why am I so lucky "Cuz normally I charge 500 dollars a hour to pose & 700 dollars an hour if you want wing action shots, I am a Professional Model" I told him sorry no disrespect intended but I don't believe you. "OK old guy get your camera ready and lets do a shoot".

What could I do What would you do I grabbed my camera and said OK lets get started.

During this shoot I learned the Red was very good at posing and he knew it, so he had a in your face attitude. An example = At the end of the shoot he said "thats enough you get one more shot and I am out of here I got me a paying customer to go take care of" I was ready and asked him what he thought was best for the last shot. " Your are an old idiot. The last shot is the END so it must be a end shot." This will be the last shot in this series, so check part #2 if you are interested in seeing it.

#1
Red insisted we start out with the normal Hawk shots just a little movement to create interest.

Beauties, Roger, especially #3 & #5. They sure don't pose up here. Maybe they need more heat.

There should be a neat story written some day about the wise old man and his morning coffee ...............................

You sure set the stage nicely Mr Wacky Roger, I was actually hoping for more reading and less pictures JK...........nailed them all buddy....very cool

I am so surprised that 'crow call' didn't show up in the text

I am on for Part #2 when you are ready, in fact I think I will pour a cup of coffee and savor the whole story start to finish when it's time....................Karl

Spectacular series. #2 would be my pick if I was forced at gunpoint to choose just one.....but that's not fair to the other images.
