First Sharp Shinned Hawk

[Tyger]

Well I finally got a chance to take some pics of this Sharp Shinned Hawk. It was quite challenging to get a decent pic and I was more than 50ft away so these are fairly heavy crops. I spotted him in 3 different places but couldn't get any closer. Not the best pics I've taken but a a nice opportunity to witness a beautiful creature. Made me want to have a 500mm or 600mm lens :)

wow, Tyger. He's gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen one like him before. The red eyes are really neat.

Hey, the GDF Calendar project wouldn't be complete without one of your beautiful photos. Here's a link to some threads if you're not sure what I'm talking about.
