Love the hawk Allan! I wish we had more raptors in my neck of the woods. Great shot!

Many raptors in the bay area, just got to be patient and find them:

Redtail Hawk, usually on top of telephone poles.

Turkey Vulture...not a raptor, more of a scavenger but they're everywhere.

...and even a bald eagle in the San Pablo reservoir area if you are lucky but they are very stealth, this one was miles up in the sky.

Many Raptors in NJ, too, common species are the Mafianis NewJersonas.

I see how it is Conrad...... trying to get unfair advantage over me by going out to shoot with Wing.

It's cool.... I will just step up my game a bit more

You are welcome to join us, Noelle, the more the merrier...but the commute from NJ to CA is a biatch!

I just bought the lens, its Sharpness is absolutely fabulous without the weight of the 400mm 2.8L IS, for me and my shaky hands it can be a challenge to handhold and still frame a shot with all the movement going on, but I use it most with a tripod.

That's the spirit, Noelle.
Show those Pacifico boys how it's done.

Wing, that first hawk is a ripper.
