Rainy Day Red-tailed HawkRainy Day Red-tailed Hawk – Nikon D810, f5.6, 1/640, ISO 800, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited

I shouldn’t complain about the rain we have been having because any rain in a desert is a good thing, but I am getting tired of it and the gray skies that come along with it because it interferes with me getting out to photograph. But this has been a rainy spring.

Plus I haven’t been camping since March and I miss it. I’m trying to make the best of it.

Last year I had a few rainy days while camping up in Idaho and Montana but there were times it would only rain for a bit and then the skies would clear up. I photographed this rainy day Red-tailed Hawk in Clark County, Idaho last year as it perched on an old telegraph pole with glass insulators on it. The hawk didn’t seem to mind the rain.

I need to be more like the hawk.

Life is good.
