Ferruginous Hawk

Just came back from a visit to the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. The "free flight" hawk show was really great. Good photo ops there.

Not even one comment? Are they that bad?

No, they certainly aren't, they are GREAT - love the poses, the eye contact, the compositions and sharpness. I also love how mean this chap looks in the final shot.

Thanks very much for sharing, Paul!

Very cool series....

I especially love the last one: not in flight, but great pose, contrast, colors and details : very well done. I hope to be able to attend such a show in my area some day.

Nice set on this beauty and that second image getts a lot of my attention for the intense look and wing position.

hahah.
awesome.
I went on saturday and Chris (svtmaniac) went on sunday!
thats funny.
your shots look very good

Yes excellent work! I was there last Sunday but the Ferruginous Hawk didn't cooperate and it flew off into the desert and they had to go get it.

Every one of them is fantastic.

great set Paul, particularly like the first one!

Excellent series Paul, I vote fo #2

awesome shots, really like 2 and 3

Thanks maniac, yeah the docents warned us that sometimes the hawks don't cooperate, especially as the weather warms the hawks go off and hunt.
