Black hawk sighting 2019

Lucky to get a close up snap of a Black Hawk with a white beard.



I was fortunate to capture a close-up photograph of a Black Hawk with a striking white beard, a rare and fascinating sight. These birds are usually elusive, making such a close encounter quite special.

The area we live in, where Black Hawks are a protected species, is likely a haven for wildlife conservation. Black Hawks, particularly in regions like yours, are often safeguarded due to their critical role in maintaining the ecological balance. They are top predators, playing a crucial part in controlling the population of smaller animals, which in turn helps maintain the health of the ecosystem.

The white beard on the Black Hawk adds an unusual and distinguished feature to this majestic bird, making it stand out even more. This trait could be due to a unique genetic variation, age-related changes, or simply the play of light and shadows against its dark feathers. Such an image not only captures the beauty of the bird but also highlights the importance of preserving these creatures in their natural habitats.
