What is a truly exciting evening? One when this stunner of a red-tailed hawk lands on at tree outside your balcony and stays there long enough for you to grab your camera, change lenses, and even capture a few decent shots!

If you've been following this blog, you'd know that I'm a big fan of large predatory birds, particularly corvids. Perhaps, it's their regal appearance; perhaps—the fact that they're easier to photograph. Once you find them, that is. So, adding a few diverse specimens to my collection is a welcome change!
