Harris Hawk checking us out

This one was in a tree right next to the road prompting us to stop for some photos. This was in rural New Mexico, so some people stopped to ask if we needed help and we said, "No, just photographing birds". They looked at us strangely but said good-naturedly, "Plenty of those around here".

Heh, can fully relate to that. Locals in countries with the most beautiful nature are surprised when people try to photograph it. I guess they don't know what it is like to not have it around at your doorstep. Posted 8 years ago

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.
