I met this jolly young fellow early one morning in a forest clearing. This particular raptor proved to be rather elusive in its behavior. Any time I approached closer than 50 meters it would fly off to roost in another pine. So began the not-so-merry, not-so-long chase. I ran out of clearing long before it ran out of places to fly off to.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
We have red tailed hawks around here, and there is no way I could get close enough to shoot anything like this. You must be one stealthy guy and/or have a telephoto lens.
Just wait...tomorrow you'll be napping in your hammock. You'll wake up and the same bird will be two meters away, posing with big toothy grin on his face while wearing a hat and cane while he tap dances and sings, "Mammy" with Al Jolson, Amelia Earhardt and Jimmy Hoffa while your camera is inside the house. Ever so slowly and carefully you'll tiptoe into your house for your camera. Just as you get outside to snap the ultimate shot, Bigfoot will emerge from the brush and step right in front of you, thus blocking your photo opportunity. Before you know what has happened, Bigfoot will have gone back into the woods never to be seen again and the Al Jolson group will have disappeared. You'll rush inside to take a look at the one photo you got off, but all you'll get is a blackish blur that could be almost anything. If this doesn't happen tomorrow exactly as written and as foretold to me by my psychic, I will send you via Western Union $10 million on the second Tuesday of next week.
