Sky Hunter

A few years ago, I captured this photo of a red‑tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) soaring overhead.

Aerial Stare

This red‑tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) passed nearby but high overhead. I wanted to catch a shot at the maximum focal length of my setup, but there just wasn’t enough time. The challenge with long focal lengths is that the closer they bring the subject, the narrower the field of view becomes—so actually finding and locking onto a flying bird gets a lot harder.

So this image was taken at the minimum focal length of my rig, 280mm. It’s not quite as crisp as I like, but honestly, it’s hard to complain when a hawk is staring straight back at you.

Red tailed hawk being harassed by some very loud crows. There might’ve been a raven there too. One looked pretty big.
