I barely know a robin from a hummingbird. I never quite have the right lens available and having but one camera, the swapping out of lens, in the moment, rarely affords me the chance to snap a shot of most birds. This morning, a red tailed hawk was dining on some unfortunate varmint atop this post. I pulled up expecting the immediate lift off. Instead the hawk tugged, pulled and gulped away. I still didn’t have the right lens with me, hence the noise from too much clarity/sharpening, but it was still interesting to watch until the bird dive bombed away from the top of the post.
