The Hawk of Eagle Mountain


Roadside Hawk, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

I spotted this serious looking predator perched atop a fencepost in Eagle Mountain (Utah). When I stopped to photograph him, he turned and stared directly into the camera lens with a very determined look. I imagine that this is the type of stare that places fear in the hearts of fieldmice everywhere (or at least in Eagle Mountain).

What a majestic bird this hawk is. Great depth of field in this shot too.

I think that actually might be a Swainson's Hawk. The darker color on the head better matches Swainson's, also Roadside Hawks would be extremely rare in Utah. Very nice pic though.
