Hello, photo buddies. I'm moving into the Fall season with one of my favorite subjects: Birds! I go on the hunt every fall to capture images of local birds around the Washington, D.C. area. I found this Red-tailed Hawk resting in a tree on the National Mall, while visiting the Vietnam Memorial. I pulled out my 80-200mm zoom lens and, bingo! I guess the early to rise photographer catches the bird. This bird was plotting to catch a squirrel, one of its favorite meals. The settings of my D200 were ISO 400, aperture 5.0, and shutter speed 500/sec. I hope to capture it on the wing next time.
