I shot this ”Rough-Legged Hawk Ready to Takeoff” at the Fern Ridge Wildlife Areas East Coyote Unite on Cantrell Rd. in Lane County, Oregon on Dec 12, 2010. I used my trusty Canon EOS 50D, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6l IS USM Lens, set at 1/1579sec., F 5.66, ISO 1600, Focal length 400mm to capture this shot.
Wow Chuck what a fantastic capture, great detail in this shot. These birds winter in the Netherlands but I can’t get close enough to get a decent shot
It was cold and windy so this one didn’t even want to fly. She sit right back down after stretching her wings… Then flew away when another person approached the area I was in, I was not ready for it at that time. LOL Thanks for the compliment, Robert.. ☺~Chuck

Thanks Dee, My first time getting so close to one with this coloring.. The Ranger at the wildlife area said she saw it having a territorial fight with a red-tailed hawk. Boy would I like to have got that shot!!!
