Red-tailed Hawk

Red-tailed Luck

I was leaving the lake and noticed something in a field nearby. As I got closer, I realized it was a hawk. I immediately pulled over and, being the "always prepared" photographer, I picked up my camera that was ready to go next to me. Not! My camera body and lenses were all packed in the bag. I scrambled to get the gear out and put together just knowing when I looked over, the hawk would be gone. As luck would have it for once, the hawk was still sitting there. I rested the lens on the truck window and was able to get a couple of dozen shots.
