Bob, Beautiful! Love the white background also. #10450642Bob Cammarata December 04, 2012
Thanks everyone!Red-shouldered hawks are pretty common everywhere in the East, but like all raptors, they tend to be skittish and can be difficult to approach in the wild.
By hiding behind a few bushes, I was able to sneak to within range.
A dense fog made for a difficult shoot but I too like the solid white background the fog helped to create.
