Funny Moment between a Hawk and a Frog

 

For my first Post of the Year 2024, here's a funny moment between a hawk and a frog as captured by bird photographer  Randy Wei. 

"I was shooting in a local park and my original target was to get a photograph of a hooded merganser. All of a sudden, a red-shouldered hawk appeared and landed in the mud under the shade. Then I started to see this hidden frog appear and begin to slowly start hopping toward the water. As the frog hopped, the hawk just stared at it without much action. I fired as many shots as I possibly could of these two in frame without much thinking, and this one appeared as if they were walking together. Well, that’s the shot, I thought!" - Randy Wei

Randy Wei (@randy_simplelife) got into bird photography back in 2014. During the day, he works as an industrial design director, but after work, he likes to walk into nature with his camera and lens. We came across this fun shot he took of a red-shouldered hawk and a frog and connected with him to learn more about it. See how he captured the image below using the fast tracking capabilities of the Sony α9 and the Sony 400mm f/2.8 G Master lens.
