Ferruginous Hawk takes flight

November 28, 2015 by Tony Leave a Comment

This gorgeous raptor was sitting among a prairie dog colony yesterday, waiting for one of the little rodents to pop its head up. I was hopping to get pics of it snagging one but a big truck came by and it took flight.

While the action is very cool, I am disappointed in the quality. I was having some issues with my gear at various points yesterday so these aren’t as sharp as they should be. Hopefully the problems were just a transient error and nothing more significant. ?
