Thanks, Bruce. As I mentioned in an earlier response, this hawk was in a tree that wasn't that tall and, being too close when they fly can be really frustrating in that they are easily lost by the AF. I cranked the focal length from 300mm to 120mm. (checked ARC) When I downloaded the images I was surprised by how small a hawk image I had. As a result, I did a serious crop to 'prox 20% of the original frame. I believe it held up surprisingly well considering. This is a quality lens belied by it's price. It simply needs to be longer. ;-) Jack

I love the 'pose' you have captured here. The lighting is great too. The only thing that is too bad is to not have a super duper sharp lens that could take this shot to the highest level. With the lens you used, I think you have done very excellent work.
