I am not quite sure of the exact species of this bird. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get my focus dead on.

Not sure on this one could be a few things but my best guess and not knowing the size I will go with a Whistling Kite.

To quote my father (a falconer) who I emailed about this photo:

"It’s not native to North America!!!!!

My best guess based on my books is a Little Eagle (Hieraaetus morphnoides) native to Australia. It’s a nice photo"

I had neglected to tell him you lived in Australia, heh

Judi, thats a great shot never the less .. i think this is hawk ... or a marsh harrier ...

i find F11 to produce sharper images with my sigma 70-300 ..
