Red-shouldered Hawk

I took this a couple of days ago back on our neighbor's farm.  I liked that the wings were down.  Handheld my Canon 7D Mark II, 100-400 mm L lens at f5.6, 1/1000, ISO 200.  Cropped down to 62% of original.  Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I also like the wing position on this red shouldered Hawk.  Pleasing background.  Good job at this crop level.

A nice flight shot of this beauty, with sweet fleecy clouds in the bg, Shirley.  Detail in the hawk looks excellent.

I agree with other comments here Shirley. Great detail for a large crop. Love the wing position and markings.

I really like the varied blue and cloudy background in this one Shirley, I wish the bird was flying a bit more towards you but nothing you could do about that.  devil
