Camera is a Canon EOS 70D and I had my EFS 55-250 lens on today.

Nice! We have a couple of "resident" ones out on the farm, though I can never get as sharp a photo of them as I can the various seabirds in the park where I run at home.

Locally I have more owls than hawks. No pics, since that's kinda hard at night.

Beautiful. I live in Kaufman county Texas which bills itself as 'the red tailed hawk capitol' and rarely pass a day when I don't see one.
