Title: Broad winged hawk
Post by: PeterAit on June 02, 2015, 10:02:53 am

Our chipmunk population took a dive during the few weeks that this immature broad winged hawk was resident in our yard. Look at those talons! Nikon D700 with Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8.

Nice catchlight in the hawk's eye! Sharp photo and talons.

Great image.

Interesting the way he is grabbing the branch with one claw and the other one is relaxed  :o

Only problem is that when he's sitting on a branch the broad-winged hawk's wings aren't broad. Try catching him in flight, Peter.
