Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk 2

6 years 1 day ago #579132 by Paul-Rossi
A bird that breeds in Alaska but winters in the southern U.S.  It is a uncommon migrant at Whitefish Point in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula.  I got its photo the other day.  There is still more than 2 feet of snow on the ground.  The underside of migrating hawks are lit by sun reflecting off the snow.

Fascinated with birds in flight.  Nicely captured here.  Are you hand holding these sort of shots in order to pan quickly?

I am using a tripod and Whimberly head, holding a Canon 600 F4 IS lens, and a Canon 7D Mark 2.
