Breakfast Buddy v32 photography by Mark Myhaver ~ Look who came for breakfast this morning! This family of Harris's Hawks and I have become ever increasingly close friends. They are a family of at least three who are residents of my neighborhood. We often play a little dance. I will patiently watch them on one of their favorite perches waiting for one to take flight. Either will usually wait till I look away for a second and then take flight. They don't go far (just to the next perch) and look back at me teasingly. I have been able to get one in flight a few times though. One has followed me on my bike ride. As I was photographing a sunset one evening I saw one of them fly to a utility pole beside me. I hadn’t realized until then that another had been perched on the pole watching me. We talked a bit and then the late arrival left while the other continued to watch me and the sunset. I have also been able to get them to return my nod of thanks for posing for a photo. So this morning I heard this one calling before I was even out of bed. I got up and was delighted to see her waiting at the table outside my door. After I talked with her a bit she went to a couple of different spots where I was able to make quite a few more photos. It was a blessed way to start my day. ~ Oro Valley, Arizona ~ Copyright Mark E Myhaver - All rights reserved. Use without permission prohibited by law and prevented by your integrity.
