Hawking in the Rain

Passing by Alta Plaza park I spotted the young Red-tailed Hawk on the power lines and decided to see how he behaves in the rain. Needless to say the worm feast continues. He seems to be acclimating to my presence as he flew within 5 feet of me on 4 separate occasions. Here are some of the nicer rain-soaked moments.


One of several close passes.

Drying feathers soaked by landing in wet grass.

The second photo from the top is defiitely print-worthy. Looks like it was flying straight into your camera!

Great set on the hawk, and the shot where it's in a stoop really rounds it out.
