I can't get over what a beautiful hawk they are, Richard. It would seem like a white raptor would be at a disadvantage because of being seen much easier by the prey they pursue (except perhaps in snow country).
Beautiful sharp capture!

I like the alert pose of this beauty, fotoi! Not a single feather out of place. Very nice capture!

It's that time if year again!
Greater Sage-grouse, male, performing his mating display.
Waterville Plateau, northcentral Washington state.
Strongly sidelit/backlit, just after sunrise. . Shot from a blind, with the camera and lens pressed down into the dirt to get as low an angle as possible. . Not cropped at all.
