John James Audubon gave this bird its English name in honor of his ornithological companion, financial supporter, and friend Edward Harris.[3] The Harris Hawk is notable for its behavior of hunting cooperatively in packs consisting of family groups, while most other raptors hunt alone.

It may have a cooperative mind, but to me this image shows clearly who's the boss.

Perfect close-up Richie!

Very nice close-up. That look alone is enough to scare all birds and small animals.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Our old friend Harris.
Hunting customs depend on the raptor, don't they?
:)
Fantastic editing [as always so this is the last time I mention it].

One may survive some attacks - even by lone and desperate raptors ... :)

A fine BOP, & portrait Richie, interesting they hunt in family groups, it makes an awful lot of sense.
