p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Hawk chicks in nest


I was going through some old files and came across this shot from about 4 years ago. I think these are rough legged hawks but I could be wrong. It was tough getting to these guys as it was very steep and dark. Also the parents were circling and dive bombing us. We had to use alder branches to keep from losing part of our scalps. You can see they are well fed though as you can make out two voles in the nest. A friend hung out over the cliff with his iPod and was able to shine a little light on them. The exposure was still 6400ISO 1/3sec @2.8. We climbed back up the next morning so I will try and post a few follow ups.
