Red-shouldered hawk in grasses (Buteo lineatus)

The hawk was hunting a gopher down in a field and I caught this shot looking through some of the taller grasses. They slightly blur the image giving it a pleasant soft focus effect.

That's a super picture you've taken of this hawk Marc.... and a lovely setting for him too.

An excellent job you've done here lad - very well done.
