       On a recent private photo tour, while hoping to see black bears catch salmon, we heard screeching calls in the forest. 😬 Not sure what it was, we cautiously approached the area. It was two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis).#birds #photography #wildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #PNW #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

       @CatherineBabault we get a fair amount here as well. They are majestic raptors. This one was in the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge, San Francisco Bay

       @CatherineBabault Same location the Snowy Egret was with the 400mm and not sure I would have been able to resolve it it was that close

       @cvvhrn My 100-400 mm is my lens of choice. I guess it works well for you with planes and wildlife.

       @CatherineBabault I sure does. It is a great all around lens and the focal length is super helpful. But I have had the 400mm F/2.8 for a bit over a year now and oh man it is so much fun. Setting it in aperture priority lets me keep the ISO locked down and shoot at 1/4000 or higher
