I took this photo of a redtailed hawk being chased by an eastern kingbird last August
Canon 5D 100/400 lens auto hand held.
I would appreciate comments

Looks like you had a nice chance to see some interesting behavior. Unfortunately, the shot is not sharp. Without knowing your technical details (shutter speed, aperture, ISO) it is hard to tell what may have been the major culprit. The shot is also underexposed shooting up into the sky. Dark Birds in flight against a blue sky almost always require positive exposure compensation to get a correct exposure. I'm guessing this one would have needed at least +2/3 or more compensation.

Interesting shot, this would be the time IMHO to not use auto, but set for max shutter speed to stop the action. Thanks for sharing.

Melvin,
This ia a neat behavior image but unfortunately the image is soft and underexposed. You probably would have needed to use positive exposure compensation and have a high shutter speed to get this sharp & exposed properly.
