One of the birds in the weathering yard was this immature Northern Goshawk who hadn't cleaned up after breakfast: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/accipitridae/nogo04.html technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400 -1 stop, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, tripod, mirror pre-release & cable shutter release. Exposure about 1/60 sec @ f/whatever. Air temperature was in the mid-20s. All comments welcome.
