Texas' Harris's Hawks, part II

Maestro

Here is the second round of images of the Harris's Hawks I encountered at the Weaver Ranch in Raymondville, Texas.

Careful with that step




Don't go too much more to the right.


Stretching the toes


Once again, the lovely couple (not shot from the blind) I actually walked over to this large tree where they were perched.


Don't come any closer.


I might have to use these. (I've actually been envisioning a shot like this for quite some time with ANY cooperating raptor. This was the first one.)


A few more portraits






And some perches

Another great set Stephen. And I love that talon shot that you said you had been waiting for a willing raptor for Maybe my favourite of the set because it is not the usual bird shot, and the colours are so vibrant.
