BEST VIEWED LARGE. TAKEN AS IS.

Shutter speed was 1/1600, F-stop and aperture value F/7.1, Focal Length was 200 mm., and ISO was 400.
SOLD: One Large Mounted Print.

I was on my way down the mountain when I spotted this Hawk on a fence post. I stopped and put on my telephoto lens, and slowly crept up to him. I got him on the fence post, and even just as he took off. I shot several fast shots, and caught a three good ones, this is one of them.

Hawks are widely reputed to have visual acuity several times that of a normal human being. This is due to the many photoreceptors in the retina (up to 1,000,000 per square mm for Buteo, against 200,000 for humans), an exceptional number of nerves connecting these receptors to the brain, and an indented fovea, which magnifies the central portion of the visual field.
