Red-tailed Hawk 7239

Sulphur Springs Valley, Southeastern Arizona

I took a day-long drive all over Sulphur Springs Valley in search of the Sandhill Cranes out in
the fields. They winter here by the tens of thousands! I found lots of Hawks, mostly Red-taileds,
but only saw one flock of Sandhills way in the distance until I got to Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area.
Whitewater Draw is open land with bodies of water run by the Bureau of Land Management where lots
of water fowl, raptors, coyotes, Sandhill Cranes, etc. can be found.

I know this is not as crisp as it should be, but I really like this shot.

Canon PowerShot SX50 HS
1/200s f/6.5 at 215.0mm iso80 full exif
