Yesterday morning I took a few minutes from my super busy week to capture Harris Hawks on a Century plant. I was so excited to see them. There were three altogether. This is the final picture of my series when one was alone.

I spotted three Harris Hawks out the window. I let myself out of the casita on the opposite end of the house and quietly and stealthily made my way along the house hiding in corners. I snapped photos, while behind a pillar support for our patio overhang. Then I made it to one support even closer. Eventually, I sat down smack dab in plain sight at an outside table across from them.

The top hawk took off before I could get a picture. This is second hawk I caught in flight. Look at how aerodynamic his wings are.

Second hawk landed on the wall.

Here’s my first photo from a greater distance away, catching all three hawks on a Century Plant.

The moments outside photographing hawks broke up my super busy week, which I wrote a bit about HERE. The time in my backyard with the hawks charged me up for my last busy day of the week. I’m ready for a break now!

What helps you get through a busy day or week?

How do you relax and recharge?
