Jeff gives us the bird…

Posted: February 13, 2008 at 10:09 pm by John

Late yesterday afternoon, while I was in Seattle, Jeff spotted a surprise feathered visitor in the pine tree behind our house. He snapped this quick series of shots before the bird–a red tailed hawk, perhaps?–moved on to other adventrues.

Jeff believes he was searching for dinner, but Buster was a bit skinny 🙂

Nice shot Jeff. Very cool capture with the open wingspan.

We have a hawk that flies around our neighborhood. He even landed on our porch once, but I’ve never managed to get a shot of when he was close. And certainly if I did get a shot none would be as dramatic as that first shot.

Thanks James. I had to stand with the camera trained on him for several minutes to take the shot. Thank goodness for the fast shutter on John’s camera.
