They scatter when he turns up...First time doing wild life with my Panasonic G80 + Leica 100-400mm Lens...So much easier than humping around a DSLR and a large telephoto lens...It's a n age thing..I got home feeling a lot less weary...R.

The background looks very good, and you have a nice clear, well captured take of this raptor. ...S.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Well, I think this is fabulous with your smaller camera - such detail and what a look in the eye.

Another great 'birdie' (☺) portrait, Richie.
Perfectly done!

Wow, that's a good camera/lens combination and the side lighting is just enough to make the bird pop without wash. A family of Richardson hawks would take up residence in a tall grove of trees behind my office each year, for a month or two, and during that time you wouldn't see the many squirrels that live there. It wasn't so much that they were falling victim to the hawks--though some were--but rather they were all hiding. This one's a keeper.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
