~ This hawk was photographed at Hawkwatch. It is a dark morph Ferruginous; if it were light morph the breast would be almost completely white, and the underwings would be much lighter. I love his feather details.
Prairie Falcon Portrait ~ Today I visited the Hawkwatch program at the Ramona Grasslands in San Diego County. I had the opportunity to photograph some hawks close-up. I enjoyed making portrait shots. They were all so beautiful.
American Kestrel Portrait ~ This smallest of the North American falcons, the kestrel is one of my favorites. This is a male; a female would be all brown. Hawkwatch, Ramona Grasslands.
