Juvenile Red-tail In Flight by dcstep, on Flickr

This around a 70% crop of a hand held image taken with a bare 500mm on the 7D MkII. If I'd crop to this size with the full-frame 5D3, it would be showing grain, even at internet size.

The more I look at this guy, I think it's a juvenile Northern harrier. (Juveniles always screw me up).

Tough call, but the legs and beak look more like a red-tail to me, but I have been wrong more times than right trying to ID raptors

I didn't think it got cold in San Antonio, Rodny. Great shot, though.

Looks warm there, Ed. Great colors.

Yikes. About the same as we're seeing here in IL. Have you ever seen the Riverwalk freeze over?

Itsed65 · 11-15-2014, 10:57 PM

When I was in basic training in San Antonio, January of 85, three inches of snow fell, and the entire city was paralyzed. They actually sent everyone who lived off base home, and pretty much left us to ourselves. It was crazy cold, and I remember ice forming on my field jacket as we marched to dinner.

Today it was in the high 60s here in the bay area

Yeah, we got snow on Thursday. Nasty. More tonight, but no major accumulation.

Nice shot. Where is that?
