Re: PESO My Favorite Hawk
That's a terrific shot, Liz! I gather you shot it and should be proud. IMO, the fact that it was done in a rehab center doesn't compromise it a bit.

Re: PESO My Favorite Hawk
Thanks Jack. Yes, I shot it. This was taken after two hours of photographing Ireland as the raptor specialist worked to trim and polish Ireland's beak and talons. They actually have to use a Dremel (a small power tool) to do the trim work. The angle and shape of the beak and talons has to be maintained properly for Ireland to be able to grip a perch or eat correctly. And Ireland fumed at us the entire time. ~Liz http://lizmasoner.wordpress.com/ http://thornsnclaws.wordpress.com/ http://photography.about.com On 12/31/10 9:32 AM, Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com wrote: That's a terrific shot, Liz!

Very nice portrait... I'm very fond of redtails myself - never was able to be that close to one... (and sorry you aren't really in New York , btw :-) ann Elizabeth Masoner wrote: Thanks Jack.

Nice, are you sure you didn't shoot and stuff him for that shot? Birds never seem to want to cooperate with me.

I love bird photos, and that one is stunning. The sharpness, the details, and, of course, the eye.

Since she is a captive bird and you have more opportunities to photograph her, you should try to get her looking more towards the camera.
