Harris Hawk (c)

[Raymond Barlow]

Another image of my friend Goran's Harris's hawk taken this past weekend at my workshop. This bird is so fantastic to work with as the flight plan is precise, and predictable.

I also liked this image because the top side view is hiding the jessies, so no cloning needed!

Raymond--One of the most beautiful hawks in the air and my favorite second only to the redtail. This guy looks like he takes good care of his bird too. I wouldn't have guessed he was a captive. You guys up there get some awesome birds!!

Great sharp top side view. Are the whites blown though? Wish it was a wild bird...

HI bro

This is incredible, captive or not! I totally love the detail and the incredible nobility of the raptor in flight! Thanks for sharing. :)
