Harris's Hawk in the Wild This Harris's Hawk was perched on a tree scouting for a meal when he launched off to get a better view of potential dinner. I am not happy with the clarity of this image but sometimes you have to take what you can get. These are not often seen in the wild. I will try to return to the spot where I encountered two of these on another day and attempt to get a better BIF image. Brilliant bird of prey.

The Harris's hawk

Harris's hawk is a medium-large bird of prey that breeds from the southwestern United States south to Chile, central Argentina, and Brazil. This bird is sometimes reported to be at large in Western Europe, especially Britain, but it is a popular species in falconry and these records almost invariably all refer to escapes from captivity.
