I stopped to take a picture of a hawk on a power line and all of a sudden there were two :shock: I was shocked what I just was able to get a picture of…it was amazing and very funny at the same time. I know the sky is blown out, but I didn't have time for a better angle :lol:

Image
Focal Length 350 mm
Exposure Time 1/200 sec
Aperture f/14
ISO Equivalent 200
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM with 2x extender

You've got to take these when you get the chance, it happens so quickly. Overall, a very nice behavioral shot. :)

Very nice motif shot. Never see any Swainsons Hawk images here and then a mating shot! The wingspread is great.

Well.....all the good lines have been taken so I'll just have to say that it's one heck of a catch. You did a good job getting this one!
