These photos are from a Hawk migration watch at Waggoner Gap, Penn in November. Most of the birds were coming over high making it hard to track and required more cropping than I'd like, up to 50%. The course made me much more aware of better tracking and composing the shot. I also have been over cropping and over using the tools Photoshop has available. This Pale Tail Red Tail Hawk was circling to attack an owl; seems they don't play well together. Tracking was difficult in that I had to open my zoom to keep the hawk in view and he/she was very fast. My Canon R5 with eye track worked great but my inability to compose and track on the fly needs a lot of practice. Warblers will in Ohio soon so the challenge is on.
