Re: PESO: My first Red Tail Hawk
I got all worked up about those damn redtails and went hunting for a decent photo of one I might have taken.

That would be good, we actually had a meetup recently (That's where the fountain picture came from). I'll let you know the next time something is scheduled. Let me know anytime you want to get together.

Re: PESO: My first Red Tail Hawk
Very nice! I got a shot of one in flight a couple of months ago, but it was utterly unusable. I just barely caught him in my peripheral vision, and had to run around to the side of the house to get a shot of him over an open field out back. There's also one that eludes my camera on the way to work pretty regularly. He perches atop a street lamp in the mornings, sometimes. I came very close to getting a great shot of him, but one of those big utility trucks drove past and scared him off, just as I was getting focused. I was livid about it all day.

Good grab. The first looks sharp in the web sized image.The highlights might be a bit hot. A levels adjustment would solve that.
