Hawks at the Ranch

I'm so lucky to have a great group of beer drinking friends with a tennis habit.  We meet every week at The Ranch and play tennis, raise hell, and have a great time.  Another benefit of the ranch is its great wildlife and vistas.  I have photographed bobcats, hawks, many birds, turtles, and organically grazed steers.  Here are some shots of the resident Red-Tailed Hawk, a chick, and some pesky Kingbirds.  Obviously, these are cropped images, but it just shows what a great camera the 6D is.  Not to mention the 100-400mm L IS lens.  All of the shots were taken at 400mm, ISO 800, f/8, and varying shutter speeds from 1/1600 to 1/4000.
