Fraptorday: Weekly Raptor
Here’s some fresh stuff from our hunt on Thanksgiving.

What’s interesting about that photo is that we took four hawks into the field. I’m not sure about the extra raptor here, but it’s probably a resident red-tailed hawk.

Here’s what you get trying to shoot hawks going for quarry when dawn has not yet happened.

And here are two of our birds headed off to check out something interesting.
The pictures here are from the Nikon D2Xs with Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 800.

I think it is funny that you took four and found five.

It certainly surprised me.
