Excellent set of photos! Notice all birds were equipped with tail transmitters. One of the few raptors that will hunt in packs.

Yes, we learned that these are a family that hunts together, and the female is the Queen and much larger than the males.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed them

The Sonoran Desert Museum is a great place. Much more interesting than I expected it to be. I hope to go back again someday and see these great animals.

This family of four Harris's Hawks put on a show, flying and soaring... Also they can be rather vocal.

These were taken at the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson.
I had the great pleasure in taking a class called Flight School. I was part of a small group (six plus an instructor), getting up close and personal with a Gray Hawk, Great Horned Owl and the family of Harris's Hawks.

They were putting these raptors thru test runs of the upcoming winter season of "Raptor Free Flight" where these and a number of other Raptors entertain visitors.

It was very exciting to have them fly inches above our heads and fly between us. I could feel the wind from their wings.

Downloads are best.......hope you enjoy these
