I adore Harris Hawks (Parabuteo Unicinctus) and have trained at least 4 of them, each with their own unique characteristics. I might add that i have trained them for educational purposes at bird of prey centres. And although they are captive each one flew free and hunted successfully.
They truly are unbelievable and with each bird i truly had massive respect for.
Great photo, however when the sun hits the colours on the wings it really makes them glow and would imo make for an outstanding picture, as yet i have not seen one but would be impressed if i do.
This bird is a under a year old as it displays an immature plumage, when a year old and they moult they turn a real dark colour with magnificent 3 tone chestnut colouration within the wings.
Thanks for these comments - and thanks Fred, but I never tire of positive words!! Actually, this camera's strong point is the ability to shoot well in low light without too much noise. Sometimes NeatImage is required but I see it as an ally and don't need to lean on it too much.
ISO 800 wow... were did all that grain go... Another wonderful shot... you must be tired of seeing people say this but this is just so well captured.. Very well done... love it.
