This is Eva, my friend Rachel’s Harris’s Hawk. Eva and I had met before, but this was my first time handling her — she was not amused. (I instantly regretted wearing red lipstick when she puffed up.) Eventually she calmed down (me too) and I was able to tell the crowd about my favorite buteo (parabuteo). Harris’s Hawks are one of the few avian species that hunt in packs. They hunt rodents and other birds but, because they hunt cooperatively, they can take on large prey, like Jack Rabbits. How? They tire out the quarry so that it slows down enough to be caught. Thank you @cyn_longo for this awesome shot. Check out her gallery for more incredible photos! #birds #raptors #conservation #representation #latinosoutdoors #nationalbirdday #birdday #latinooutdoors
