It is very exciting when we catch these awesome birds. Great high key, Laurie! I chased an Osprey around these last few days and did get a few great images. I've loved your hawk series! #5894293

I was thinking the same thing about drying off his wings -- I'm sure that is what he was doing here. Love that you've presented him against the white bg! #5894338

Great detail and composition, Laurie! This is my favourite from your beautiful hawk series #5896035

Kathleen Rinker May 07, 2008

Great capture, I hope he comes back. I find my comes and goes with the changing moons, usually a new moon and then the full moon, although I have not seem them lately they are probably nesting. I see the vultures but not close enough to get a shot! #5896734

Laurie Daily level-deluxe May 07, 2008

Thanks so very much my friends. I think this is also my favorite and the last time I saw him as well. The skies were very gray that day as we were fighting off and on rain...I thought it looked so drab so I just changed selected exposure in PS to white and liked what I saw. I am always so inspired by the wildlife photography I see here on BP so when I get a chance I go for it...the flowers will always be there, but this to me is more exciting and much more rewarding. #5896738

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna May 07, 2008

This is so breathtaking, I don't know that I've ever seen a more "engaging" photo of a predator! Just fantastic, in my opinion.

Laurie, I agree with you about flowers and wildlife--if I could shoot wildlife more, I would love to (I need a bigger lens, more energy and a lot more patience, lol). Fantastic capture of this beautiful bird--the white background is wonderful! #5897817
