I found the red-tail hawk. [View all]

Somewhere between a quarter and half mile away.
I was wondering where it flew off to.
I got only one shot before it flew away.

This image is sharpened a bunch.
These shots were a lot easier when it hung out on the tree 100 or so feet away.

Almost as far as you can get from N.Y.C. and not be sipping Mai Tai's on Waikiki Beach. usonian Oct 2022 #3
