What kind of a bird is that? Looks somewhat like a falcon, though perhaps a bit more like a hawk.

Mike, a stunner alright. That proud, fierce glare. Beautifully composed.

Those are some serious beaks. Steve, on my monitor I see some stuff around #2's beak. I have a 70-300 for my E-510. This is as close as I could get to a Red-Tailed Hawk having lunch in my back yard. One of my bird feeder customers got picked off. Feb. 6, 2010; E-510, 70-300mm @ 277mm, f/5.6, 1/500 Hawk in backyard by gmontjr, on Flickr Also, a short video of lunchtime: www.flickr.com/photos/gmontjr/4335850308/

You win George!! All of mine are either tethered or zoo shots. I can't speak for Steve but I suspect his are similar in that respect.
