imported_peter_m Posted July 13, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) This guy isn't perfect at it yet, he crashed into some bushes and was in a bit of a fix. I rescued him and put him on a stump and he went back to practicing after he posed for a bit I looked in my bird guide but not sure what he is.

stuny Posted July 13, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2006 Peter - As well as giving us a pair of well detailed and framed raptor photos you've also shown us how to get space between photos on the new Forum -- Include a frame. Now I wonder if you can add text to the frame to allow notes between photos. The falcon didn't harm you in fear? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted July 13, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2006 I believe this is a Buto sp. rather than a falcon, because it lacks the notched beak typical of falcons. If in North America I'd call it a Red-tailed Hawk because of the band of speckles across the chest. The bird overhead is an immature Red-tailed Hawk, the close-up is a captive Peregrine Falcon.

imported_peter_m Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted July 17, 2006 Hi John and Doug, Red tailed Hawk would be the one, there is / was a nest up in the rocks and the young just fledged. It might be the one from up there, never could get close enough to the nest to get some good shots. According to my bird guide Peregrine Falcons don't make it as far into the interior of BC. Those are a couple of impressive shots Dough are they from the DMR? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Stuart, I suppose there is a few ways to get spaces between pictures but the frame is probably the easiest unless you are fluent in HTML. No the hawk was on the defensive but didn't attack, I did put a cap over his head when I plugged him out of the bushes. He was pretty quiet for a wile on the stump till he got his senses back and then he hoped of to the next stump and flew off. Looks like his flying skills are improving seen him and one of the old birds today and he is mastering gravity Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

telyt Posted July 17, 2006 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2006 Those are a couple of impressive shots Doug are they from the DMR? They're both film, the Red-tailed hawk is K64 with the 400mm f/6.8 and the Peregrine Falcon is E100G with the 280mm f/4. Good to hear the student pilot is doing well. BTW the black patagial marks (the leading edge of the wing on the underside) is also a good field mark for the Red-tailed Hawk in all plumages.

Doug, They do have the black patagial mask ( never knew it was called that) but there tails are lighter then the one in your picture. I will try to get some decent picture of them went up there today the light was perfect but the birds weren't cooperating. Thank you for the image info.
