Top class catch here!
Now I am wondering what type of Zoooooooooom You use? ... and is this a Wild Hawk?
I ask these questions as I have Wild Hawks at the rear of My Property and am wondering if I may attract them nearer by displaying Road Kill or something similar. Once again ... top shot! *squawk*

Thanks Brian....For this shot i used the 100-400L f4.5 -5.6 IS USM, it is a captive Hawk (hence the jessies around the ankles), but to have wild hawks of any species around your property is amazing....im going green!!!

Kahu, the Harrier Hawk is the species and they patrol relentlessly in search of Food. I have a very large old Tree Stump that stands 8 foot high.
On top of this I plan to build a Birds Nest, along with Rhea and Ostrich Eggs ... perhaps some Opossum Fur (like roadkill) in a bid to entice them near ... Eggs, Chicks, Piglets and Roadkill are the most popular diet for the Kahu.
