\"HeadHead on stare from a juvenile Swainson’s Hawk – Nikon D810, f8, 1\/400, ISO 800, Nikkor 500mm VR, natural light, not baited<\/span><\/p>\n

This juvenile Swainson’s Hawk was photographed earlier this month in Beaverhead County<\/span><\/a>, Montana on a cloudy morning with low light. Even though the light isn’t perfect I like the muted colors in the background and how they contrast with the warmer tones in the young hawk’s plumage.<\/p>\n

I also like the head on stare I was getting from the hawk and the connection I felt looking into its eyes.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
