Young Harris Hawk in Flight - a photo on Flickriver

"Young Harris Hawk in Flight' by Patti Deters. A beautiful juvenile Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) spreads its wings wide as it prepares to land on a tree branch, showing the intricate details of its underwing feathers. The young raptor's brownish red plumage and white stripe on the tailfeathers help with identification. Harris Hawks are a Latin American bird of prey popular in falconry due to their exceptional intelligence. Previously known as bay-winged hawk or dusky hawk, this particular bird-of-prey was seen at Santa Clara Ranch in Starr County, Texas, USA. Thank you for viewing this picture.
