AMAZING RED-TAILED HAWK CAPTURE!

This photo from Isabella and Stephen  Bates was submitted as possibly a Peregrine Falcon however, I think it is a Red-tailed Hawk. Please write if you can confirm or correct, much appreciated. Isabella and Stephen shared that the hawk was feeding on the suet when it picked up the feeder in its talons and carried it away!

How Do You Photograph COLD?

With the coldest weather of the season upon us, send me your best photo of “cold.” I want to see pictures that make me shiver and run inside. Subjects might be people reacting to the cold or scenics that evoke a deep freeze or any imaginative approach you care to choose.

Send photos to <editormard1@mac.com> and I’ll post them here at GMG over the next few days. Please include your name for proper credit.
