Raptor
While going though my Alaska photos and found this one taken at the Raptor Center in Sitka Alaska. I believe this one is Red Tailed Hawk. A very slight crop to center the eye and a few specks taken off the feathers.
The 200-500 lens is a handful but it enables to get intimate shots from a distance and isolate the subject. Have gotten a few wonderful captures with it but very exhausting to use hand held. Not quite suited for the run and gun style of shooting unless you are Popeye. I use to scoff at mono pods, now I have one. Being wrong is natural to me.
