Thanks bg11a24...belatedly!! ;-)

Thank you, Searra!

You're here in CO?? We're in Boulder county...just north of Broomfield! It's the Birds of Prey Foundation...google us...we're on Facebook too...we're not open to the public, but if you get on our e-mail list, you'd get an invite to the annual open house in May where you can come see the flight cages and see more of who we are and what we do. I would be happy to e-mail you the images that you want...there may be others that might work for you...my "portfolio" is my Project Noah page (click on my name above). My e-mail is christy10185@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Thanks, danuuribe! I don't mind at all...if you need me to e-mail them to you, I can do that with higher resolution. Is your foundation non-profit?? I'm involved in a local raptor rehab center here in Colorado myself and it's a very important part of my life! There are 2 other spottings that may work too: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/489... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/481...

Thanks again, Christy! ;-)

Thanks, Christy! I use a Nikon D5000 and a Tamron 18-270mm lens...it's the only lens I have and I absolutely love it! I do want a longer one (who doesn't?), but for most things, this works beautifully!

Thanks, all! Searra, someone told me recently they watched a Red-Tail sit and let the little birds fly around its head...then it snached one out of the air for a snack! Don't know if they do that a lot but it's definitely a possibility! ;-)

Thanks for the comment!

Done, Ava! I should have remembered that one! ;-)

Wonderful capture, Tony!! mpvettch, in Europe, hawks are called buzzards...it is a buteo, related to our Red-Tails and Broad-Wings (and many others).
