Yield from 50-500mm Lens

Bird Setup, Sigma 50-500mm

I found that I needed a 2X converter mounted with the lens because of the extreme distances.

At the time, I thought this was the mature hawk.  I had the camera tripod positioned so that I could "hide" behind the tree trunk to its left.  The bird still knew I was there.  She was pretty concerned about the safety of the young in the nest.

Red-shouldered Hawk in the Nest

This could have been the adult.  It was shot early in the season so I supposed at the time it was unfledged young.  I might have thought the young were calling for food.

Thanks to Gorman Nature Center for the opportunity to capture these images.
