It is a Hawk for Sure

This image is from a couple of years ago, and I’ve done some recent enhancements to bring out more detail. The title I originally chose now puzzles me—it makes me think I wasn’t entirely confident about the species at the time. It is a Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperii).

"The image portrays a Cooper's hawk perched gracefully on the bare branches of a tree. Its robust body is adorned with grey-brown feathers, which blend harmoniously with the muted tones of the surrounding environment. The bird gazes directly at the camera, its sharp beak slightly ajar, as if it were about to share a secret. The overcast sky serves as a soft backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the darker hues of the hawk and the gnarled branches. The composition captures a moment of quiet contemplation—a fleeting connection between the avian world and our own. This photograph would undoubtedly intrigue ornithology enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and anyone who appreciates the delicate beauty of wildlife." - Microsoft Copilot with edits by the photographer

Northern Harrier in Motion

This Northern Harrier (Circus hudsonius) was soaring through the sky above Holly Beach, Louisiana in one day in December 2022.

"In this striking image, we witness the northern harrier (Circus hudsonius) in its element—a master of the skies. With wings outstretched, it glides effortlessly against the backdrop of a pale blue sky. The harrier’s plumage is a study in contrasts: dark streaks and patches intermingle with lighter shades, creating an intricate pattern that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. The bird’s elongated body and broad wingspan hint at its prowess as an aerial predator. Its eyes, sharp and focused, lock onto unseen prey below. The hooked beak, designed for tearing into small mammals and birds, adds to its formidable presence. As it tilts slightly toward the viewer, we catch a glimpse of its fierce determination. This image encapsulates the essence of the northern harrier: elegance, precision, and adaptability. It invites us to appreciate the delicate balance between beauty and survival that exists in the natural world." - Microsoft Copilot with edits by the photographer
