Red-tailed Hawk: York County, Maine, USA, April 2024 \u2014 I spent a long time waiting for Her Majesty to leave her perch when I encountered her along one of my favorite birding trails across the marshes. It took her a long time to decide that the hunting might be better from another perch. I had the camera set for flight and I would hold it on her on the perch, waiting, watching the strong off-shore wind buffet her, for as long as I could hold it up\u2026then I would put it down to give my arms a rest\u2026then back up and waiting some more. Finally it happened, and I caught it \ud83d\ude42 Again, harsher light than I would have preferred, but otherwise a very cooperative bird. OM-System OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds in flight and action modifications. Processed in Photomator and Apple Photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
