Today was an exceptional day. It was 21F at dawn and the temperature rose into the lower 60s by 2 PM today. The hawks were warming in trees and on utility poles this morning. I got an interesting sequence of a juvenile Red Tail hawk launching this morning; this whole sequence takes paces in 0.7 seconds: used a Canon 7D and a Canon EF 300L IS f/2.8 with a 1.4x TC by Canon:
Wonderful capture!
