This was a fascinating rehab outfit in Germany. Not sure of the species of this small

hawk (some sort of falcon, probably), but he does seem to be enjoying his marmot.

Comparing this image to the slide, it looks like the image is suffering a little in

sharpness. Might need to do some work on the resolution step down prior to jpg

creation. I see this as more of a portrait of the handler than the bird.

When at the zoo, or in this case the San Diego Wild Animal Park, you do what you can

to isolate the animal from the enclosure. Had to shoot this at f2 so the wire fence

didn't show up. It's fun to record animal behaviors; here the condor just

finished a 5 minute bath and is airing out.
