Species: Red-tailed Hawk | Location: Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada, Canada
Ready to strike at its prey, this red-tailed hawk approaches with its sharp talons ready to capture dinner.
There's no escaping the sense of drama and the reality of what's about to happen. It's imminent.
About The Photographer

Growing up in northern Ontario created within me a sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors. Friends and I would spend hours throughout the summer, biking, hiking, camping, fishing, boating or swimming in the lake. So, it's no surprise my favourite subjects to photograph are nature and wildlife. Both for their beauty and, the latter, because of the feeling of accomplishment when I get "the shot". There's not usually a way to control the animal, the lighting or the environment so when it all comes together in a perfect moment, and the shutter clicks, it's truly a fantastic feeling.
