The Surveyor by grammyn

The Surveyor

I went to one of my favorite photo spots this morning in search of a photo and just as I rounded the corner this hawk dropped into the field before me. I was upset that I missed him in flight but hoped I might catch him as he flew off. He obliged me a moment later by landing on this light pole. Still too slow to catch him on the wing I am content to have caught him as he surveyed his surroundings.

Not as clear as I would have liked becuase of the humidity in the air and the distance from me.
How lucky he flew and landed on the pole. great catch. fav.

Nice catch nonetheless! My reaction time would have been much slower than yours.

Nicely captured- you don't always have time to plan with nature- especially a bird shot!

Great shot! I love the way the wood grain and feathers look so similar!

@randystreat Thanks Kathy. Sometimes the humidity can work in my favor but often times it hinders a nice crisp shot.
