A few more birds of Florida

Can't believe you took these with the tammy. Did you have to crop a lot. Nice captures of the behavior of the osprey and hawk. I like seeing birds that are doing their own thing with a look at their environment too.

Thanks Susan. I am finding the Tammy is seldom off my camera. #2 and 3 are huge crops . They were taken on the first round. The top hawk then flew off to the next pole and sat . While he was doing that I slipped up a lot closer, the length of a mobile home . Shortly after I got positioned the top one flew back in ,and they did it all over again. I got him flying off so a lot less cropping on those 2. The first one has a small crop since it felt safe atop the phone pole .
And yes all with the Tammy

Terrific captures! Love this series very much. I would love to see this for myself

(And I am excited to see another Tammy found a happy home!)

Very well captured proving the Tammy to be a great sharp lens.

Thanks Tess. I think I have fallen in love with the Tammy. I am not sure if I was told correct or not but I was told by a resident that what I captured was a mating ritual of these hawks. AND I thought they were fighting
