Hawk and Blackbirds

Gallery: AvianPosted December 19, 2009215 views11 comments

A hawk and some blackbirds in a Bosque sunrise. We were shooting at the crane pools early in the morning and looked to the east admiring the beautiful sunrise. This tree with a raptor and some blackbirds caught my eye and I took some images. No saturation or vibrance added. Full frame. I haven´t been able to participate much lately because we just arrived in Ecuador. Some locations I get internet here and some I don´t.

I love those colorful Bosque mornings. Love the silhouettes. Makes me feel like I am there. Looking forward to your images from Ecuador.

I almost posted a sunrise scene from Gilbert instead of the Vermillion Flycatcher. Good that I didn't 'cause this is so much more brilliant!

Very neat shot. Too bad the hawk was not more upright! Still an interesting situation.

Excellent silhouette Nate, complex and simple at the same time.

Would have been a beauty of a shot even without the birds Nate.
