I have to admit this image just cracks me up every time I look at it. I mean, who knew these ferocious little raptors had such cute little legs? I’ve taken thousands of pictures of them but sure have never seen anything like this.
At the end of my photo drive Sunday, I had gone for a walk at a local open space. As I was walking back to my truck, I spotted this handsome fellow along the pond. He was initially quite skittish but didn’t fly far, landing on a bush. I worked my way to get closer and while he still kept his distance making for a long shot, when he launched, this was one of the sequence of pictures I got.
So cute and funny and definitely unique.
