I took this shot maybe a week ago early in the morning. The Mocking Bird was continually dive bombing the Hawk perched at the top of the tree. Initially the Hawk ignored the much smaller bird but the little birds tenacity defeated the Hawk’s size. Once the Hawk was finally fed up he took off into the woods. My take away from this…I need a longer lens ha-ha.

A 70-200mm lens would have been perfect!

Well I used my 70-300 but they were just too far away and getting closer to the Hawk is not an option. I have tried lol.

Oh really? When you wrote ‘a longer lens’ I didn’t think you were already shooting with a zoom lens 😉 In that case a 600mm!

Thank you. It was my 70-300 on my 7d mk2 so something like 480mm. They were pretty far away though and getting closer to the Hawk just never works. They see everything. I need a 600 haha.
