Boy, these guys are so danged cool! As I was just beginning to prep my end of year photo projects this past weekend, I happened across bunches that I hadn’t shared, including this one.

Taken at a photo shoot with Nature’s Educators almost a year ago, this was one of a pair of these awesome raptors that serve as ambassadors for the group.

I have never seen a Harris’s hawk in the wild so photographing them was a treat. That plumage and those eyes are just stunning – plus these guys hunt in packs, just like wolves! How cool is that?
