Red-Tail Hawk.

Just launching out of a tree.

too bad about the crop on the top of the wing- i'm sure you didn't do it intentionally- this is suprisingly crisp! WOW! I would love to see such a beautiful animal so clearly!

Jody,

 

anyone who asks if the Canon 400 is a good lens only needs one answer: your portfolio

 

Most people can't do it the justice you do, these flight shots are just superb. And I can vouch for the fact that equipment is way less than half the battle: my flight shots look very plebeian next to yours

 

Where do you live to get these marvelous birds to "model" for you?

Nice capture jody, regards, RK!

i second JACK's notion... totally.
