Like all bird photographers, as I approach my subject I’m often too close to the bird by the time I can see it clearly through vegetation or by the time I have good light on it. That’s when my two-lens shooting strategy pays off in spades.
At least I think it’s the same bird I photographed four days ago. They were in the same area, they were both young birds and they were using the same hunting technique from the same fence line.
Yesterday I posted a single photo out of a series of photos I took of an immature Ferruginous Hawk two days ago in the west desert. In that post I said I’d be posting more of them very soon. These are those photos.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
