We used Grace's trophy that she left in the house to see how close we could lure hawks. Now that we know it works, we will work on getting some better shots.
Nothing like killing to birds (or should that be rabbit) with one stone. Great way to lure in the Hawk and some great shots of it. I love their intense gaze.
How big is this bird? Looks pretty big. I thought such predators do not exist in NZ and that's why they have such wingless birds like Kiwis. Is that a native or an invasive species? Very lovely shots.

It is an awesome looking hawk! Great shots!
Great photo captures of an awesome bird.
Cool! Quite a different approach to "feed them and they will come", but it works well!
Awesome! Such a handsome bird.

HI Betty What a great idea and it worked. You got great shots from this one attempt. Just discovered your blog and have joined now
Wow! I guess that's one way to lure them in. Definitely worked out well! So neat to see the hawk up close like that.

Love it, we have them up our way too.They are quite magnificent but my great favourite has to be the Ruru, or more pork . Do you hear those at night??
