CommentI was thrilled to capture this Swamp Harrier stopping mid-flight when I was spotted on their late afternoon hunting expedition. I love the rawness throughout this image; the intense gaze, the beak with remnant down from a recent meal, and the missing feather hinting at the wild habitat of this beautiful creature.
