Yep, the 400 would have been the ticket. Fill flash would have been good here too. At about 30 feet and 5.6, it can be quite effective at diminishing those shadows.

This morning when going on my walk, I decided to take the K 200/2.5
out.  As I was walking up on this scene, there was a hawk perched on a
signpost.  I set the exposure using the green button technique way in
advance, knowing that I would have to act fast if he took off.  Now I
was wishing for the 400mm instead of this 200.  Just couldn't get
close enough before he did take flight.
