    Default Hawk from Argentina

    Not really sure on the ID. I took this image in Patagonia, Argentina about six moths ago. He swooped down below me from a fence post.

    Canon MKIII
    1/2000
    f 6.3
    ISO 400

    Noelle:

    Sharp, well exposed, nice wing position, pleasant BG colors.

    Very nice shooting angle for a raptor!

    We don't see a lot of images from South America, look forward to some more.

    Cheers

    Noelle, I like the flying posture, and what a great clear BG for him to stand out against. Great shooting techs.

    Great detail and nice background. I think this may be a Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango)
