Saw this hawk at the neighborhood lake recently. It was getting mobbed by blackbirds as it flew over the lake but I didn’t get them in the frame here.
Any.
Is this a composite: No

Nice catch, Allen. Good details in the bird. Looks like he has some feathers missing, or partly missing.
Really great capture! I too like @terryb was wondering about his feathers? Is that just how they are? Beautiful hawk!
Pleasing underbelly in flight shot. Good job on the blue saturation. Enjoyable wing position and diagonal elements in the image.
Hi Allen
I like the Hawk’s framing and you did a good job handling the exposure on Hawk and sky. Nice looking bird.

Wonderful pose, detail and color, and I love the crop. Good lighting of the underside. Is he molting? My best shots otherwise always seem to have missing feathers.
