So much win. Love these Falcon and Hawk shots.

Ok I've been holding these back for about a month until they were published in Petrolicious but I uploaded some today as they should be published today or tomorrow along with the owners story about the car.
See more on my Flickr.

Agreed. Always one of my favorite cars. And that's a very nicely done shot.

Nice jump in great light. He's got a bit of Wiley Coyote tooth hanging out.

I've nicknamed this one Fang. I've seen him or her a bunch of times over the last few months.

Hawk Poses

This hawk was so close that I had to move away. by David Stephens, on Flickr

This is not a captive hawk, but I had to back up to frame it. It was acting oddly and not flying away.

Great shot Dave. Hope it wasn't poisoned. It can be a problem when they eat poisoned rodents.

This would be a shame. We have a refuge for injured Hawks, Falcons and Eagles called Cedar Run in Medford NJ. In the past they have done a photography exhibit to raise money for the birds care. They would bring the birds out and set them up in a natural environment and we could take photos.

Mike and Ed, the sanctuary where I took this picture doesn't poison, but a hawk's territory can be quite large. This one down by the lakeside, so it might have eaten something that a fisherman through away.

Some nice pics posted here lately. I've been shooting only headshots of faculty members, so not much to post. While I was waiting around for someone to show up to have their picture taken the other day, I grabbed this bokeh shot of some nearby Christmas lights.

I didn't see the kill, just the aftermath...

Nice. All the raptors seem to love coot. I was watching two eagles fish this morning and a little group of coot came close to the hunting perch and we were praying for a hit, but apparently the fishing was too good.

Low light and long distance kept this from being as sharp as I hope for.
