Dark Morph
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008This is a photograph that I took recently, and have tentatively identified it as a Swainson’s Hawk in its “dark morph” configuration. There is no particular significance attached to the occaision of this event; I just liked the image and wanted to share it.

Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.”
