This Broad-Winged Hawk showed up and sat vigil on this dead tree. Watching. Waiting. Patient.

Never saw the hawk move much. I didn’t see the bird come or go. I am not sure if it ever found its prey.

But it was awesome to have an opportunity to simply watch and observe this Broad-Winged Hawk for a good long time.

I stood and watched this hawk through a Nikon 300mm f4 lens attached to a Nikon D300S camera body. I also used a teleconverter so the focal length was 420mm. ISO 400 at f/5.6 with a shutter speed of 1/3200 sec.

Enjoy and go out and create some images today.
