Harris Hawk Landing
Made another trip to Santa Clara Ranch in south Texas over the weekend. Had a great time, as always. Thanks Hector. Finally got to experience the raptor blind and it was awesome. With a somewhat slow start, the action picked up with Scott and I maxing out with 10 raptors at the same time with a couple of Harris Hawks and the rest being Caracara.
Started out using my 100-400 lens and later switched to the 500. Got several decent flight shots and wing spread photos when they came in to land. This juvenile Harris Hawk put on a good show.
I’d go back just for the raptors. Hope to make another trip next year.

The only bird I like better than an owl is a hawk. Excellent shot Tim.

Tim do you have a 70-200 f2.8 as well as a 100-400 and a 500 f4?

Rick, I’ve got a 70-200 F4 but not the 2.8. Haven’t used my 70-200 for years. It’s too short for most wildlife that I shoot with my full frame sensor. The 100-400 covers the closer up stuff for me. You can check out my gear on “in the bag” page link on the right side of my blog.
