A ferruginous hawk in flight. I shot this from my vehicle on a frigid day in northeast New Mexico (January 19, 2025). This hawk was very nervous about my presence, and it was difficult to get shots. Ideally, I would have used a faster shutter speed, but I used the relatively fast shutter I already had selected. I only had a few seconds, but I had to try to photograph such a magnificent bird. - Mora County, New Mexico, USA #bird #hawk #in-flight #birdofprey #ferruginoushawk #wildlife #animal #sunset #nature #sky #clouds #outdoors #winter #NewMexico #Fujifilm #Tamron

A few scenes from yesterday's Christmas Bird Count, caught a sunny and breezy day between storms-

Lassen Peak with newly sown fields - Good flow in Yana Creek just upstream of the confluence with the Sac River
Flooded field after the rains, a nice sight - A Ferruginous Hawk, last bird counted as the sun set
