It’s has been an incredible month or so! Work is picking up. Filtering through piles of applications for two new hires. And gone every night to see an individual close to me that had medical problems. Literally every night at the hospital. Day-night-day-night for a month….
The last chance to capture was about a week ago. I had about two hours in the afternoon. Drove to Antelope Island. The long causeway creates an incredible opportunity to photograph Northern Harrier Hawks. Flying 10 to 20 above the edge of the causeway they are hunting. Out came the 600mm. Pulled over on the wrong side. Set the aperture and waited. Then HE came along head down. Looking for mice. Then he would pass. As he passed, I would fire off 50 or 60 shots. Then I would back up a thousand feet or so and wait again. Every time he passed he would look over at me for a split second. Literally. One frame of 9 frames per second……Good looking guy! Man what eyes!!!!
This is one of my favorites! Your Awesome.
Ahhh…got my Jim fix….
