Very nice pic, looks good zoomed in....my only suggestion would be to give the bird more room to fly into, otherwise nicely done!!

I thought red tailed hawks have reddish orange tails? I think this might be a Merlin Hawk, google it in images and I think you might agree? A beautiful in flight catch regardless!!!!! Bravo!!!!!

Very nice shot. This is one of my favorite birds, see my upload from today. This is definitely a redtail, it's much too big to be a merlin.

You did great to get such a clear and sharp in flight, even if he is not flying into the picture. Congratulations on a beautiful shot! :)

thanks everyone! and CavalierLady thank you.... it was the best shot i could get considering i was standing up thru the sunroof of a moving vehicle (5mph on dirt road) and the hawk was flying lol and i was using the monster 80-400mm lens handheld THANK GOODNESS for VR hahahaha what a wonderful invention! lol
