Harris Hawk

Low light, high ISO, long lens is not the way I should have approached taking
pictures of something as fast and majestic as this hawk. But it was a bit hurried after
I saw two guys by the side of the road working this hawk and asked to take pictures.
But, as with so many photo-outings, I have made an interesting contact for better pictures in the future.

It was awesome to see nature in action at such close quarters!

Great shots, they are magnificent aren't they. We often see them being worked sometimes in groups of three or four.
