Decided to take a look see at a local Marsh Pm time. While stalking the trail I feel/sense something behind, spin in time to see RTH grab a field mouse weeds and all.

Camera comes up ratt tat tat she goes. Oh drat the lights not right !!72514893-O.jpg

Lands in a tree and just glares at me

Then flys off, at least this time with the sweet light

    Ben, these shots are great! thumb.gif I'd wet myself if I ever got that close to a Red Tail! Dunno if you shoot raw, but the color in the first one might improve with a white balance tweak.

    The baby skunk shot is just plain wonderful.

    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!"
