This week again I am departing from the usual post that I do...we have been having absolutely clear skies with no clouds.
As I was looking at the sky to find something to shoot...I notice my friend the Red Tail Hawk sitting in the Walnut Tree just about a Quarter of a mile from the cabin here.
I ran in and grabbed the camera with the 70-300 lens on and began to photograph him...I was able to get just a bit closer each shot till I was about 2,000 yards away..then he decided to fly elsewhere..to the South ...he had been sitting in the North West. I did manage to get a few shots of him flying by..therefore I also got some sky in the shots.
Click on any photograph for a larger and more personal view.
Shot from the porch here at the cabin.
Just a bit farther down towards the tree
Still closer..a better shot
Flying by from NW towards the South
I did promise some sky..here it is(Still flying towards the South)
More great Blue sky..and my friend reaching the South Sky.

Wonderful shots of the red tail hawk! They are very wary of humans and usually very hard to capture with a camera. You did good!
How kind of him to pose for you, and how kind of you to share with us. Happy Sky (and hawk) Watching!

Great Skywatch! I love seeing the hawk in flight.
It's a great treat to see blue skies, and even more of a treat to see such a beautiful bird in flight.
Love the capture of him soaring up in the sky spreading its wings!
