I absolutely love these raptors but they can be a real challenge to photograph. They rarely sit still and in flight, their low, erratic patterns are a challenge. Yesterday I was lucky enough to come across this beautiful lady sitting on a downed tree. While I was able to get some closer pics, I think I like this more distant one from the encounter the best. I love how it shows the environment she was in at the time and the fact she is looking right at me.
