Harris Hawks lift off from my glove,
soar straight up in the sky to fly,
and land precisely back with Jim.
Flying hawks is incredible.
Lethal precision hunters,
they are woe to birdies in the sky,
and critters fleeing on the ground.
They are savage beauties,
and magnificent creatures.
Cheers to you from the Harris Hawks~

So pleased you enjoyed them Bruce. There is something mysterious and dignified about hawks that is fascinating დ
The first picture is impressive. It looks awesome how the hawk takes wing – bundle of energy and strength!
Thank you Alexander. I love all raptors.They are incredibly skilled creatures and are incredible to watch დ
You are right Cindy. They have some kind of magnetism, and you can watch them without getting tired for a long time.

What a thrill that would be to have a hawk land on my arm (as long as I’m not a mouse).
Smiling….. Yes, if a mouse, that would be a not good, very bad day, indeed! 😉

Grazie mille Silvia დ
Savage beauties, indeed, with a look that says: “Don’t mess with me.”
Exactly! They are creatures that demand respect დ
Cindy – a fabulous collection of photos. You know how to position the camera to offer us the very best view. I had never heard of Harris hawks before and when Tim suggested they hunt in groups, I had to find out more. Can you imagine that they have a wingspan of up to four feet, and can weigh up to three pounds. And yes, they are social birds and often hunt in groups of two or more, with each bird taking a different role in the hunt. We live among extraordinary creatures. Thank you for bringing us the best of Harris hawks.
We learn new things everyday from our wonderful blogging community. I love the co-operative hunting factoid. I would so love to see this! Thank you dear Rebecca & take good care my friend დ
All I can say is WOW!
I love that word! Thanks so much Noelle & cheers to you დ

Thank you very much Charles & stay safe and well my friend დ
I think I’m justified in being a little scared of this big guy, Cindy! He’s definitely magnificent, but I’d hate getting caught by those claws and that beak!
I completely understand and empathize with your trepidation. He is built to intimidate and he succeeds დ
You are such a master of capturing movement, stillness and essence. Thanks so much Cindy for these stunning images!
Ahh….Your most thoughtful words make me happy I posted Val. Thank you my friend & cheers to you დ
Gorgeous!!
Grazie mille Donna დ
You capture their beauty perfectly.

Jake is brave! Beautiful pic
He is! Thanks much my friend & cheers დ
Super shots, Cindy. The Harris hawks are stunning birds.
I just found your comment in my WP spam filter. Sorry for the late reply & thank you very much! დ
Fantastic. Are you a part of a birder’s group or you just follow your instincts or knowledge of where you will see the birds?
Thank you Lakshmi. I am a solo birder. I can’t imagine getting any acceptance of my presence with a wild bird in a group of people. I like being alone in nature. Thank you for asking Lakshmi & take good care დ
Incredible, Cindy!!!! Love these images 💖💖💖
So appreciated my friend. Thank you & cheers to you დ
Amazing. Yes, they are beautiful killers. And so useful. Their drastic decline in France has led to an explosion of rodents and other “pests”…
It must have been a unique experience to have one fly off yout -gloved- hand.
Raptors are so important for maintaing ecological balance and they are so wonderful to live among. Sad to hear about Europe დ
C’est la vie. Morons are on the increase. LOL…
დდ
Wow! Another stunning series, Cindy!
Grazie mille Amy დ
The wings look so powerful and strong! Great close up photos…get to see their distinct features. Thank you Cindy!
