Theropod picture of the day
A small murder of crows was harrassing a red-tailed hawk out in front of our house this morning, and stuck around long enough for me to (a) realize that they weren’t just being chattery for no reason, (b) realize that there was actually a hawk involved, (c) walk out onto the porch so I could see the hawk and the crows sitting in the sweetgum trees, (d) come back into the house, (e) remove the super-tak & the m42 adapter from my pentax, (f) attach my Quantaray zoom, and (g) go back out onto the porch and get one good picture out of a dozen attempts.
When there isn’t much light outside, the purple fringing coming off this lens is impressive, but so are the zoomy bird pictures.
