Dark and dreary and suddenly this landed.

We were still in the car, on a dirt road, when this Hawk flew low in front of us.


I did get these shots as he landed even in the dark.

He didn’t stay long.

A quick stop, hop to another branch, and on his way again.

He didn’t fly away, the hawks I usually see are very careful. This is a beautiful hawk and you were able to capture a wonderful series!
Thanks. He didn’t stay in that branch very long. Just enough for these shots.
