'IO (Hawai'ian Hawk)



What would happen if a few Red-shouldered Hawks found their way to the Hawai'ian Islands?



I discovered my own Lifer Hawai'ian Hawk on a hike with local Birder Dan Lindsay. In flight... March-2005. Pu'u 'O'o Trail, on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Canon 10D, EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens. ISO 200. Evaluative metering.



As Dan and I approached, he continued sunning himself. March-2005. Pu'u 'O'o Trail, on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Canon 10D, EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens. ISO 200. Evaluative metering.

When we hiked past, he sighted us and flew aloft... March-2005. Pu'u 'O'o Trail, on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Canon 10D, EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens. ISO 200. Evaluative metering.
