Couple recent Red Tail pictures. Kind of missed focus on one, but web sized you can't tell. Taken with 300 f4 IS and Kenko 1/4x TC.

American Kestrel, I believe. First sighting for me.

Jayson, those are great images. I esspecially like the kestrel. The white backgrounds are great.
Thanks Nick and Joel for the compliments!
Had a visit from a Red Tailed Hawk early this morning, unfortunately it was heavily overcast and drizzling rain. Nevertheless, I had to try, so I cranked up the ISO to 6400 and sneaked around the house for a couple of hand held shots. Not the best and of course it's noisy but at such a high ISO I was surprised.

@Joel
I thought you mentioned in an earlier thread you had the 1D IV temporarily. Did you end up keeping it?
Apparently it handles the wet weather as well as the hawk.
