yup - another bird. i only had a minute or so with this guy today, but managed to fire off a few shots. i believe this is a red tail hawk, and must say that it's an extraordinary animal. this was shot at about noon... in extremely bright light.

i often find myself frustrated that my camera can't keep up with me. once the buffer gets filled up, i gotta sit there and wait - while my photo op literally flies away.

check out this photo.
