Title: Harris Hawk
Post by: ravynne40 on October 02, 2010, 08:58:21 AM

In light of the discussion of the sighted Harris Hawk in Bowmanville (think it was) here are some pics I took at African Lion Safari
This was a beautiful Hawk with gorgeous coloring

Nice pics. Such a beuatiful bird.

I was certain it was a Harris hawk and I was also certain it was an escapee... I've seen them before with handlers, but still it was nice to see, especially without a handler in sight.

#2 is really nice, Irene!  #1 has nice colours.  

I think that you mean Nikon D90 and Sigma 150-500mm?
