\"AdultFerruginous Hawk gliding – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/1600, ISO 500, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited<\/span><\/p>\n

Ferruginous Hawks west of the Continental Divide prefer rabbits as prey so what you see here might be the last thing a\u00a0Cottontail or Jackrabbit might see.\u00a0 I’m glad I am not a rabbit!<\/p>\n

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