Free and Powerful



Every photograph has a story behind it.  My story of this photo is simple. I was taking photographs of Hummingbirds and out of blue appeared this bird and began to make big circles in the sky. And here he is, beautifully soaring in the air with his legs crossed.

I believe that this is a Red-Winged Hawk but not sure. 

Note: I made a mistake. This is Osprey. Cao, thank you!

  2. It is indeed an Osprey. The M shaped wings are quite distinctive.

  3. Why does he cross his feet like that?

  11. I will have to take the word of others that this is an osprey and, since I love to speculate, my guess would be that the bird's legs are crossed for aerodynamic reasons .... less wind drag = more speed and with less exertion.

    In any case, a fabulous photograph, Kaya ....

  12. Buena captura del ave en vuelo, Kaya, bien "congelado" el momento, nada fácil de ejecutar.

    Saludos.
