same hawk different location.

 

[Roy1961]

i watched the hawk eyeing up a few squirrels between him and i, i thought for sure he was going to swoop down and get one of them, i focused on one squirrel, looked up and the hawk was gone, tried to catch him, but shutter speed was to low.

Great shots Roy. Now I see where the bees swarmed to. They were headed west. Ha!

I sucked at using my tripod today, missed alot of birds, went back to the car for my BR strap, far better.

Also i noticed alot of movement / slack between my camera and my 500 lens, turned out 3 of the 4 main screws that hold the metal plate were loose, $1 glasses repair kit from the dollar store fixed that.

lucky enough to see the Mandarin Duck today. Love its colors.

[Roy1961]

the mandarin even makes the wood duck drab looking, a rare one footed mallard.

 

[Roy1961]

i think i had lifted the tripod along with the camera to get these, changed out for the strap and hand held after this.

the terns did have to dive at the opposite side of the lake! the tail looks different from the first tern? (eat as you fly)
