Was blessed with a chance to shoot a mature Red Tail yesterday for more than a hour as it went abou it’s business. It just didn’t have a care in the world that humas were close.
Full Res and a few more here if your interested.

Are you a Canon or Nikon guy?
jasonThanks guys.
Will we have resident RTs and Coopers but also get migrants. This guy is som tame though, noone can figure it out. I went back to get more of him this morning and there was a huge crowd shooting him. I guess after posting some of this on the photogrpahy website I frequent word got out a bit 🙂

Way unusual.
Jason I’m Canon. Shot these handheld with a 1DMKIIn and 500mm f4 L.
Nicely done sir.
Yeah it’s possibly my favorite as well, along side one of the 3 above.
Id processed that Sunday after I’d put the post up here.I hear you Kendal.
I was in a bit of a funk through much of Feb/March. Up here in the frozen north theres not much to go after. It’s only been the last week or two I’ve been invigorated to get out and shoot stuff with a purpose.Turkey Season opens in 4 weeks ( already hae some great Tom pics) and Trout opens the same week.
As a side note just got Aprils issue tonight and I have the cover (steelhead) and a full page inside (preseasonsteelhead) and some Turkey hunting related stuff.
Its enough to motivate me 🙂
I like. Â The shots with the garter snake are especially incredible. Â I know very little about photography. Â I tend to be stimulated by wildlife shots that capture some unusual or rarely seen behavior. Â That snake shot is the shit. Â
Have you got any shots of the snake being devoured?

Deleted probably 20 to 30.
Not because they weren’t nice, or technicals (exposure, sharpness etc) weren’t good or anything but because ones, much the same as the next.My culling procedures are pretty brutal and ruthless.
I kept this one over the others because
a) The BG is nice
b) It shows the entire snake (no elements bird or snake clipped)

Congrats mucho on the cover and full page inside!
Thanks! Â It actually helps answer the question I was interested in too–would the bird start at the head of the snake?

Every raptor I’ve encountered so far, and that’s falcons, hawks, eagles, and owls, have all started by eating the brains.
Thanks.
