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 these all over the place down here but they seem to be a bit tamer in these parts. I can get to at least 49 meters before they fly off;) Its a great shot considering the distance you had to make up for!

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
A steady hand to make this shot very well done also keeps you in condition great workout and picture.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Hi Wendell
Judging from his comment, I'd deduce that Roger's been "experimenting" again.
I'd never thought of hawks as being "jolly" before, but, if you and he shared a few jokes while you were taking the picture, who am I to doubt you?
I like the way you've got him to stand in a shaft of sunlight. He's obviously co-operative as well as fun company.

I'd say that's a pretty good shot for a hawk - they are very shy around here.

Wendell - The reclusive hawk likes its privacy, especially when we humans get near. I like the blue sky and open fir branches in this scene, giving the hawk it place as the centerpiece of the photo. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

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.
