The Galápagos Hawk (Buteo galapagoensis) is a large hawk endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Known for its fearlessness towards humans and authority over the islands as the only original predator, this bird has inhabited the Galápagos archipelago for over 300,000 years.
I was lucky enough to see this fellow just sitting on a rock, with the Pacific ocean in the background.
A lovely portrait of this majestic looking bird! Lovely detailing! I would personally add more of the blue background to the front of this bird, so it doesn’t appear quite so tightly squeezed. Other than that, this is lovely!!! :)
