Beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk flying above me on my walk. The shot with the sun was a bit of a fluke, as I blinded myself and shut my eye when the sun hit the lens. He or she soared above me for about an hour!

Lovely series!
Great shot with the sun. Really neat.
I was out there for about an hour...he was flying above most of the time...and I have about 250 photos that DIDN'T work!!! ;-)
Thanks for the comments!!
That's a lot of work focusing on a hawk in flight.
Thanks, David!
Great series!
Thanks! These guys are nesting in an area I know, but I'm not sure where the nest itself is. They're definitely one of my faves...
Great series Christy! I love these guys - never have my camera or my phone when I see them.
