Friends, a recent visitor to my site asked me why i was practicing bird flight photos, this image is a result of lots of practicing at Hawk Ridge.  This is truly the first good flight shot of a broadwing hawk that was released back into the wild after being banded.  You can see his new bracelet on his right leg.  Below is a portrait taken while the bird was in hands of a educator on the ridge. you don’t want to be a frog or lizard that this bird can see.  til Tomorrow MJ
