Sub-adult Red-tailed Hawk near some railroad tracksSub-adult Red-tailed Hawk near some railroad tracks – Nikon D500, f6.3, 1/1600, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited

Good morning from Clark County, Idaho! I was able to get away from Utah for a bit and I am enjoying being out on our public lands again. I’m struggling a bit trying to do this morning’s post because my mouse has either died or just decided to be a pain in the butt and I really don’t like using the touch pad on my lap top.

Yesterday evening I was able to take some bird images with my new Nikon D500 so I am a happy woman, a very happy woman.

I’m not real happy with the background in this image because of the way the one rail from the track crosses the frame. I do love the look I was getting from the sub-adult Red-tailed Hawk just before it flew away to land on a perch on the other side of the railroad tracks.

I hope to find more birds and animals this trip.

Life is good.
