Congratulations James Salywoda for your image "Male Northern Harrier Grey Ghost" being chosen as the Avain IOTW for the week ending 9/24/2010!!!
1. Northern Harrier
Southern California
Well I have to say this probably will be one of my top encounters as a photographer.
I found a tree that a pair of Cooper Hawks use as a perch and was focusing on a Juvie Male waiting for it to take off. All of a sudden I see the male looking up so I took my eye off the lens to see what was happening. I couldn;t believe what was coming at me a male Harrier being chased by a Female Juvie Coopers talk about excitement I managed to only get a few shots of the Harrier as it was so close I clipped a few frames but managed this shot I was surely happy about the outcome.
Nikon D300s AFS 600 F4
1/4000 F5.6 ISO 800
Thanks For Looking
Jim
