Another recent Redtail in flight from Sacramento NWR. A better position of the bird this time. D300, 300F4, 1.4TC, F6.3, 1/1600, ISO 500. All comments appreciated.

Nothing better than a good shot of a red railed hawk. Good wing position. Good eye catchlight.

Great wing-down shot at an angle where one sees the distant wing. Love that the beak is slightly open and the catch light in the eye.

Real nice Jim. The wing position is cool and detail on the face is great
