This juvenile red-tailed hawk decided to drop in and terrorize the mallards while we were shooting at the swamp today. Didn't seem particularly afraid of us as he was landing at times within 20 feet.

Lots of red-tailed hawks out at the estuary today. Here is one of the better images. Taken hand held from the viewing platform at 840mm.

More red-tailed hawks yesterday over the Chase River Timmy's. The people in the parking lot thought I was nuts hand holding my 600mm for this shot.
