Cooper's Hawk coughing up a pellet Same bird after being flushed by a walker Red-tailed Hawk Another RTH - Taken on Halloween. I call him Caesar's Ghost. _________________ wes http://www.flickr.com/photos/waslin/

I'm thinking about taking the TC off for better focusing, but the reach is hard to give up. Always a compromise. Wes _________________ wes http://www.flickr.com/photos/waslin/

Hope the weather gets better soon, it's been pretty wet around in Victoria. I was hoping to check out Goldstream to see if there are any Baldies around this weekend.
