Hawk Eye...

Uploaded: December 19, 2005 16:53:00

Description

The red shoulder hawk seems unamused as I approached within 12 feet as he rested in the bush tops at Ding Darling Nature Preserve, Sanibel Island, Florida. The reflection of the afternoon sun gives sparkle to his ever ready and vigilant eye... Canon 600 w 1.4 Xt and extension tube with fill flash at -1.00 and ec of - 1 1/3 to darken background.
