Red Tail Hawk

A photo of the hawk that stays in our front pasture. I got this shot as we were driving up the driveway and it flew by us. Too cool that it was checking us out too. This is the hawk that races my husband home from the corner of our place to the driveway. Hawk usually always wins even when my husband tries to beat it...lol. The hawk lands at the driveway entrance as if to say HA HA beat ya again. :)
Not the best of quality but still dear to me because of the special hawk.

How lucky for you to have this beautiful bird around often! A lovely flight shot and I particularly like the eye contact!
 
OK, I love it! I love watching these things ride breezes, without moving a feather. We have many of them down on the flat lands toward Red River on the power lines. So regal and proud! Thanks!
Blessed, by a prideful creature, Dan
 
Thank you! The birds of prey are fun to watch and take photos of.

Dylan, glad you like the results of the camera but do see my user gallery, there are two other photos in it that are not over-sharpened as this one is. I do love this camera and have been very well pleased. If any goofs it is me and not the camera since I am still learning and very much a beginner with it. Thanks again!
 
o:) Love the pose in the air and the stare fixed in you, Debra, great Hawk in flight!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
 
Not a bad shot at all...quite sharp in fact! You've actually caught quite a bit of detail for a BIF shot with sky for bg! Great story, too!! :t:
