Red-tailed Hawk: York County, Maine, USA, April 2024 \u2014 When I started out on one of my birding trails a Red-tailed Hawk came flying across the marsh right toward me at eye-level and then swooped over and climbed in spirals higher and higher and way inland. All I managed were a few \u201cgoing way\u201d shots. Ah well. But then, on the way back to car, almost back, I caught sight of big bird shape right over the highway in a tree\u2026sure enough it was the hawk. I watched it hunt from several different perches along the edge of the marsh until it moved on back the way it had originally come from. The light, high noon, was about as harsh and hard as it gets in Southern Maine this time of year\u2026but still, such a majestic bird. OM System OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko 100-400IS at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom bird modifications. -0.3 to hold the highlights. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
