Harris Hawk in Flight

I love the little cock of his head, as though he’s checking out what I’m doing down here.

Harris Hawk Dominance

Harris Hawks hunt in family groups. Generally the lead female is the alpha, but the new lead male is trying to establish his place, and is pushing her off the top perch on a Saguaro cactus. Shot at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum’s twice-daily Raptor Free Flight.
