Harris Hawk

[Robert Holguin]

Hello everyone. I managed to find a group of these hawks that had just finished picking their breakfast. I saw them fight for the meal from a distance and managed to approach the victor and shoot a few frames.
C&C welcomed and encouraged.

Robert this is awesome image.

Excellent photo!
Hawk and prey is sharp and well exposed.
The light is a bit harsh, but you take what you can, and this is very nice.

Excellent exposure. I like the feather bits in LLC. Nice line created by the prey's wing. Nice and sharp.Good clen BG. Light a bit harsh but doesn't bother me at all,

Hi Robert, what a great angle you have captured from your car - looking at this, it looks like you could have been on the ground, well done. Good DOF on the Hawk, sharp, and I do like the colours. The inclusion of his kill adds so much to the overall image, and of course, the pose showing it off too.

Very well done from the great pose to the prey makes a strong image

Excellent image of this handsome, powerful raptor, Robert. Love the angle, pose and the story.

Great image here - most of the Harris's Hawk images seem to be from baited setups. The natural prey item adds a lot - was it a pigeon?

Robert - the poor pray was a coot.
