Alex that's an excellent shot! Those are my favorite of the backyard birds.

Agreed. The white-breasted nuthatch is my fave but the titmouse is a solid #2 [H]

A found thisRed ShoulderHawk setting in a tree rite by the road during a snow storm we were having today. Looks like he was having a bad hair day.

Thanks Bob. Today was the first time I had seen on. Had to look it up when I got home.

Nice shot. I have been scheming to get a shot of a red-tailed hawk for months, but can't seem to get within 100 feet of one. How close were you to this bird? How much did you have to crop? What are your camera/lens/shot specs?

I was about 40 ft from it parked in the middle of the road. He was in a tree right next to the road. This is a crop of about 70% of the original. I was using 50D, 300 F\4+1.4TC, 1/400, F\6.3 ISO 400.
