Thanks, however there are reasons I put those at the end of album.

Re: Peso-Red Shouldered Hawk

[Jack Davis]

Without digging into my Bird Book,
Red tail is self evident and they have
a dark beak along with a brownish collar and bib.
Red shoulder has more rust toned
markings around the head and extending down to cover the tops
of the shoulders.
If I later note any significant additional markings I'll so advise.

Thanks, Alan!
I'm trying to recall the feeling of 
distance when I released the shutter.
Wish I'd checked at the time.
My best estimate, 50-60 ft.(?)

Wow if this was the last photo my K5 captured I would be happy.
Removing the battery and waiting a few minutes before inserting it
back in the camera, phone and other electronics is always a good
option.

 No idea about the potential problems with the camera, but if that was
 the last photo the K-5 took it would be a superb way to go out.  That's
 a wonderful shot.  You should post that as a PESO because some people
 are going to miss it buried in this thread.

 Technical details?

Re: PESO - Red Shouldered Hawk

[Christine Aguila]

Great story and capture, Brendan.   Pose and composition are great.  The 
hint of snow really adds too.  At first I thought about a slight crop at the 
top to eliminate that hint of twig business, but could go either way on 
that.  Cheers, Christine

So today I'm having lunch with my 3 year old when he starts pointing out the
widow and saying, Daddy, there's an owl! An owl! I asked him where he was
looking and there just over a neighbors' fence was a raptor in a tree not 25
feet from where we were sitting. I asked him to keep still and I slowly got 
up
and went to fetch the 400mm. Well, it was in the garage, and it's 30 degrees 
out

and snowing. No matter.


I get the lens inside and realize that the temperature difference will fog 
the
lens so after getting it mounted on the tripod I go fetch a hair dryer and 
from
about 2 feet away on the low setting I defog the lens gently. Finally I 
can

line up the shot.

Unfortunately, I have to shoot through glass but I'll take it. You almost 
never
get to get this close to these birds. Not the sharpest image ever, but 
again,

I'll take it.

Brendan,
Nice story and a good try.
I'm surprised he waited as long as he did for you!
Keep watching, he'll be back.
We have one here that visits often,
checking the feeders for Breakfast or Lunch opportunities.
Getting a camera on him is tough.
You did well.

Re: PESO - Red Shouldered Hawk

[Jack Davis]

Worthy catch and under trying conditions, Brendon. Your son is to be rewarded 
for his sharp eyes.
Not to detract from this image, but in the interest of ornithological accuracy, 
I don't think it's a Red-Shouldered hawk. They have a scattered speckled chest. 
I have shots of this species as well, but my bird book doesn't have a decent 
photo from this angle and with these chest markings.

Brendan, since my earlier post, I Googled the Red-Shouldered hawk and see them 
pictured with the same markings as yours a well as those I've seen.
So...guess it's up to someone else to settle it. ;)

 Nice story and a good try.
 I'm surprised he waited as long as he  did for you!
 Keep watching, he'll be back.
 We have one here that visits  often,
 checking the feeders for Breakfast or Lunch opportunities.
 Getting  a camera on him is tough.

Re: PESO - Red Shouldered Hawk

[Brendan MacRae]

Hi Ken,

Yeah, he's really nearly four now, but he has an eagle eye (pun intended). We 
went to the dump the other day and he spied a toy truck sitting on a concrete 
pillar from about 40 feet away. He was in his car seat and there was another 
car 
between us and the truck. I don't know how he does it. 

Anyway, I tried messing with the black point (in Aperture) and initially it 
didn't make a whole lot of difference. I'm going to adjust it again prior to 
printing and I'll see if I can improve upon it. Does it appear overly dark on 
your screen? Was wondering if I should adjust the exposure.

 Not a bad capture at all. A little unsharp mask, and setting of white  dark

Read once that the garage is a suggested safe place to store valuables when 
you're planning to be away from you house foe awhile. Thought that was what had 
happened. At times, I leave equipment in the car overnight if I intend to take

I'd say the snow on the branches and (especially) the falling snow
more than compensates for a little lack of sharpness.

[Ken Waller]

My bird book has a very similar front view of a Broad-winged Hawk that looks 
identical to the bird in Brendan's post.

Brendan, since my earlier post, I Googled the Red-Shouldered hawk and see 
them pictured with the same markings as yours a well as those I've seen.

So...guess it's up to someone else to settle it. ;)

So today I'm having lunch with my 3
year old when he starts pointing out the
widow and saying, Daddy, there's an owl! An owl! I asked
him where he was
looking and there just over a neighbors' fence was a raptor
in a tree not 25
feet from where we were sitting. I asked him to keep still
and I slowly got up
and went to fetch the 400mm. Well, it was in the garage,
and it's 30 degrees out
and snowing. No matter.


I get the lens inside and realize that the temperature
difference will fog the
lens so after getting it mounted on the tripod I go fetch a
hair dryer and from
about 2 feet away on the low setting I defog the lens
gently. Finally I can
line up the shot.

Unfortunately, I have to shoot through glass but I'll take
it. You almost never
get to get this close to these birds. Not the sharpest
image ever, but again,
I'll take it.

Hi Ken,

Yeah, he's really nearly four now, but he has an eagle eye (pun intended). 
We
went to the dump the other day and he spied a toy truck sitting on a 
concrete
pillar from about 40 feet away. He was in his car seat and there was 
another car

between us and the truck. I don't know how he does it.

Anyway, I tried messing with the black point (in Aperture) and initially 
it
didn't make a whole lot of difference. I'm going to adjust it again prior 
to
printing and I'll see if I can improve upon it. Does it appear overly dark 
on

your screen? Was wondering if I should adjust the exposure.


It was dark enough that it prompted me to look at the histogram - which when 
adjusted gave a noticeable improvement. I adjusted both light point (RH side 
of histogram), Dark point (LH side of histogram) and the Mid point. The 
adjustment also made the snow look white. This was all done in Photoshop.

Not a bad capture at all. A little unsharp mask, and setting of white  
dark

point will improve it further.

I'm impressed that a three year old would  even call it an owl!

nice shot -- i have been practicing on the sharp-shinned hawk that 
predates the bird feeder two doors down, including at least once in a 
snowstorm, so i know the thrill and challenge of it; my windows are to 
wiggly to shoot from inside, so i have to go outside and try not to 
scare it; i have only 210mm, and most times i am shooting through a 
thicket of branches

doing it in Aperture, in case that helps (and working from the small

and +.25 brightness; this really opened up the bird -- i could see the 
detail in the eye

Re: PESO: Red-shouldered Hawk

[Jack Davis]

You got it, David! If I do get the 60~250, I won't let this go 'til I
check the two lenses against each other. I seriously doubt that the
80~320 will equal it in res/contrast, plus, the 60~250 is an f/4
constant aperture.
I only paid $189 + shipping (Keh as I recall) and it is as new.
Unblemished and didn't even appear to have been handled. Still doesn't.
I had seen an image Paul posted in which he identified the same lens. I
asked him about it and as a result, bought one.

  to this wealth of wildlife.
  It is well utilized by many including groups of school children and
 the
  occasional bus load of tourists who stroll its many miles of
 walking
  trails. This time of year is absolutely prime to drive the three
 mile
  Tourist Loop, (in the past with a large lens on a tripod across
 your
  lap. Since sold)) or now with this modest FA 80~320 in my lap,
 picking
  off drive by critters.
  I bought this lens to fill in 'til the new DA 60~250 becomes
 available,
  and it is serving the purpose very well.
 
  Thanks for comments!

Both terrific shots, Jack.  I especially like the one of the hawk
looking straight into the camera.

Hey! Both  nice shots, Jack. Little grainy, but doesn't matter a heck of a

Re: PESO: Red-shouldered Hawk

Thanks, Marnie. I agree with your choice.
I took a look at the two and pulled them up looking for grain. I found
a little in the second (shot at 240 mm), but not 'til it got scary big.
;)
Both shot at 200 ISO as noted.

I put these up, and a couple others, to show the surprising images
produced by this inexpensive lens. Given a chance, this copy is a
capable performer.
