One of the last shots of the last bird on a clear morning, made not long before 11 a.m., well after I would have quit on my own. Afterwards, the bird landed 100 feet up in a big tree, and refused to come down, despite much begging from the falconer. By the time we'd packed up our gear, however, he'd changed his mind and come down for a snack. The bird was flown free, no radio gear, just a single leg band, which I've cloned out. (Wings were down, the band hidden, in the frame before this one, which is the one I would submit.) In South Texas, Harris's Hawks hunt in packs for quail and other prey, making them unpopular with at least one quail lover of my acquaintance, who rates them "lower than Caracara." Cropped all around, this is 76% of the full, out-of-the-mount frame. Boulder County, CO, EOS-3, 300 f4L IS, handheld, 1/1500, f5.6 (ambient), Provia at 200 and pushed one stop. [b]Cliff Beittel[/b]
