Warm Weather Wings

Our weather was very nice yesterday with the temperature hitting the mid-60's. I took advantage of it to shoot a project, but during the course of shooting those photos, I came across a variety of birds. The robins were everywhere and I also saw a lot of cardinals. The hawk in the last photo was the one bird I really wanted to photograph, but I couldn't begin to get close enough for decent shots. I took that photo at 500mm and it was as close as I got. The hawk was gone before I could close the distance.
