Hi Y'all,

With two pairs of mating red shouldered hawks at the Viera Wetlands you can usually find one that's willing to pose for you

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Cooperative hawks do make it easy. The focal lengths were 850mm, 550mm, 300mm, and the last two were at 280mm.
