Harris hawk

My next Two posts are both shots of wildlife were the subject does not cooperate with the photographer. The first is a shot of a harris Hawk in flight I just could not manage a shot with its head in focus. I have posted it as I think the wings show up well. Taken at the Centre for Birds of Prey in Helmsley North Yorkshire

 

Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), formerly known as the bay-winged hawk or dusky hawk, and known in Latin America as the peuco, is a medium-large bird of prey that breeds from the southwestern United States south to Chile, central Argentina, and Brazil. This bird is sometimes reported to be at large in Western Europe, especially Britain, but it is a popular species in falconry and these records almost invariably all refer to escapes from captivity.
