Sorting through some of my older pictures I came across a directory or two of pictures I had forgotten about.
These are a few pictures of a young Red Tailed Hawk I took while near a large pond. I was standing near the edge of the wood on an embankment when I caught out of the corner of my eye this Hawk taking off. I quickly turned and start shooting away.
This was a hot humid bright sunny day in the middle of the summer here in eastern North Carolina.

I know it is better to frame them coming into the frame, but like the title says this is the one that almost got away.








Of these three shots I think this next one is my favorite.
