Harris's Hawk

Here's another shot from our Santa Clara Ranch trip this spring. This was taken from their elevated raptor blind which gives you a nice background in the afternoon, baited. This is the smaller male which had just cleaned it's beak on the perch and was balancing here.

Great 'balancing' act Nate, a bit of an unusual pose.
Very nice

Another great shot from Santa Clara, Nate. The overall golden hues are very attractive and like like it that the bird manages to stand out though it is similar in color to the BG.
