Here is my first attempt at Bird Photos (not to mention my first photo session with my new ZD 50-200 mm zoom). Clearly not up to the standards most of you post, but I'll keep practicing.

They are Harris' Hawks

The first image is cropped, fill light added to shadows, and re-sized to 640X480 for the internet. IIRC, the second was not cropped.





Since the Sonoran Desert is at the Northern edge of their range, maybe some of you Northerners may not have see one before. They live and hunt in family groups. These may be two different birds, I lost track.
