Hawks, falcon, flamingo and something that doesn't fit

Still going through some old stuff that I forgot about. These were taken at African Lion Safari.

I think you nailed it with the Ferruginous hawk. Thanks.

Thanks Barb. They have a decent variety in the Birds of Prey demonstration. Took a lot of pics from the bus through thick glass during the safari but only got a handful of decent shots. Glass was dirty and tons of hand prints. Next time I'll take my car through so I can roll down the window and shoot and I'll just bypass the baboon section so they don't ruin my car.

They weren't having the birds of prey demonstration when I was there. I did the safari twice in my own car, first thing in the morning and later in the day. It was amazing first thing in the morning. I did the slip road and bypassed the baboon's too. Second time was a little too crowded.

They actually have a behind the scenes package. Its early morning before it opens when the animals are more lively and are being fed. You go through the safari in a open air truck bed. It is 2 hours for $99. I think it may be worth it to get some great photos.

Excellent images.

We should all do the Wake up the Wild together.

Sounds like a plan.

I am so in. I knew about the package, was planning on doing it. I think this would be so much fun.
