I was thrilled to find this beauty in a field close to home.

 

Canon 1D MK 111 / Canon 500 f4 IS + 1.4 tc / 1/2500th @ f8 ISO 400 /

handheld / cropped frome horizontal, full frame vertically

Very fine capture again with wonderful light and colors. Great eyecontact aswell, bravo!

Very nice shot David. I'm no expert, but looks more like a juvenile rth to me, only lacking the dark wrists. Looking in my numerous bird books the rough legged hawk has distinctive dark spots under the wings and a somewhat dark broad band on the tip of the tail, even the light morph and juvenile. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

I would've guessed Ferruginous Hawk because of the black beak and the yellow cere. The ID is difficult at best, but one thing is for certain....the image is outstanding. The bird's position in the frame, the wing position, head angle with a sharp eye including a nice catch light. It's even got a damaged primary flight feather on the lower wing. Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

This is one great shot, the head and eye are tack sharp and the perfect exposure lead to excellent clarity and detail.

Beautiful capture, detail is excellent.

Great shot!

Great capture, beautiful lighting and details, very sharp (7/7 an). best regards Christine

Beautiful photo!!!

Get rid of your feathers. Don' t look at him or her, she or he is mine. Stamping, it is to expect according to look.
