Default Catch of the Day

Long distance, but a neat shot of an Osprey leaving with it's breakfast.

Catch of the Day

Spotted this guy while driving to another area to shoot hawks. A Red-tailed Hawk sitting on a light pole in a vacant university lot watching workers mow the area. Glad I saw this one as the area I went to shoot was empty of everything but mosquitoes.

Waiting For Lunch

Another grreat set of hawks shots can I ask what lens you use ? I am thinking of catching the Ospreys next year and Hope my 70-300 is good enough as knwo bigger will rarely be used so will be scouting the area well in advance for spots to sit and wait
