Fluidr / Hawk Owl by RKop

American lifer #566 from Minnesota..All told I am at 571 now after the visit to Texas and Sax-Zim bog, but none has more character then the northern hawk owl. feisty, fierce, fast, fabulous.
I have taken more then 2000 frames of this accommodating bird that spend many hours next to the green house on CR7. We saw it preen, hunt, devour rodents, and just pose like a pro. here are shots taken at sunrise with the rising sun in the frame, for dramatic effect. lots of post processing to even the exposure and recover detail.
