Rough-legged Hawk "Fancy Pants"

6 years 2 months ago #568596 by Paul-Rossi
I have photographed many Rough-legged Hawks over many years, of many variations, but never got one so patterned and colorful.  Hence the nickname.
I had some good evening light and set shutter speed and aperture manually.

Make: Canon
Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark II
ISO: 400
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter speed: 1/3200 sec
Captured: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:25am

Such a beautiful bird, the feathers on this one remind me of a leopard.

Yes they are so variable. Can be confusing to identify.

I've always wanted to get serious in bird photography, when I see shots like this, where you have managed to get sharp focus mid air, and the birds beauty is captured on a clear canvas (background). 

Love the shot
