Galapagos hawk (juvenile)

Buteo galapagoensis

Description:

We spotted this young hawk on a rock & started shooting from about 30' away. I was able to gradually approach him until I was standing just 4 or 5 feet away. He seemed fascinated by the bleeping sound my camera makes when I hit the shutter release & struck a whole series of poses!

Habitat:

Isabela, Galapagos
