    Stunning capture JK. I like the pose of the bird- he seems unconcerned yet vigilant at the same time. Nice one.

    Great photo! I really like the way some of the feathers are “swished” sideways. Looks like the bird is about to fly off, or is steadying itself in the wind. Lovely composition, where the hawk is still king of his/her patch of sky!

  • J.K. York replied

    he was about to fly off. in fact this was the only shot i got before he took flight. thanks.

    Beautiful red-shouldered hawk, J.K.! I also really like the sense of spatiousness you get with the light. The sky is so bright, but the bird somehow seems underlit slightly. It’s a cool softness.

  • J.K. York replied

    i played with the sky to get that lighting dynamic. thanks for identifying this as a red shouldered. i wasn’t sure.
