I took this photo last Fall. This Sharp Shinned Hawk flew right over my head after capturing the House Finch he's eating, and was quite content to let me take several shots.
f5.8 1/500
I have been trying to get a good picture of the Marsh Harrier for some months. Yesterday it flew closer to me then ever, but I have still had to crop this picture a lot. However its better than any of the others I have taken so I just hope to continue to improve.
Taken with a Canon 7D and 300mm...

Saw a couple of these playing at work today.....grabbed the camera.....set the ss and didn't notice the f stop. Ended up at 500 at F 11, iso 800. Stopped down way too much. Kinda like it though. Too big of a hurry but at least I got the shot.
