A Hawk.. A Goose & A Duck

[Guyzerr]

I believe this is a Red-Tailed Hawk but it's been a long day and I'm too lazy to confirm it. It would have been nice if he decided to fly but he didn't.

I broke a rule and walked off the trail when I saw this goose sitting on it's nest. I got within a few feet of it and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a cranky goose in the water heading my way. I fired off this shot and got out of Dodge in a hurry.

It was a fantastic day. 19c and not a cloud in the sky. I have a few better goose shots that I'll post later... maybe.

I love the details on the hawk's feathers!.
I thought it might be a Golden Hawk.. We have both here but I can't tell the difference between them..

Your pictures are always great!.. :thumbup

If I could take some that were 1% as good as yours, I would be the happiest person..

It's a Red-tailed for sure.

Thanks for your comments and as far as your abilities are concerned just go out and shoot. The more you do it the better you'll get.
