Harris's Hawks hunt in pairs or groups, always led by a dominant female. This was the female in charge of a group of four others.
Just gorgeous shots! Can't imagine getting an image like that! Thanks for sharing!
A friend and I were driving through town about a week ago and fortunately going very slow when all of a sudden this hawk flew down straight across the windshield. It was so fast and close that all I could see was the reddish breast. Still trying to id it. Talk about being focused or it just expected us to yield!
