]]> The Hidden Lake Forest Preserve is across the road from our house. Wearing rubber boots, I took a Sunday afternoon stroll in the rain and rapidly melting snow. The reward was a performance by this Red-tailed Hawk. He (or she, I’m not sure) was perched on a small tree by the lake. Moments after spotting the bird, he flew off, only to return with a field mouse in his beak. I’ll spare readers the details. Perhaps it was the large golf umbrella over my head, or this was just a fearless bird, either way, he didn’t take off as I inched closer. This shot is from about 30 feet. Panasonic Lumix GH3, Nikkor 50mm lens, F.1.8, ISO 200. Hand-held. No image stabilization.
