It’s my contention that “muscle memory”, fast reflexes and quick thinking are more important in bird photography than they are in most other types of photography.
I’ve had several requests from readers asking me to post some of the clipped shots I took of yesterday’s Rough-legged Hawk taking off. This sequential series of five images is my response to those requests and it includes two additional photos that weren’t clipped.
Occasionally the frozen moments in my photographs allow me to see something that really piques my curiosity. And makes me wonder about the relationships between natural selection, behaviors and structural adaptations.
