Captured on November 30, 2023, this mesmerizing shot presents a hawk in full flight against the vast blue sky. A stellar moment from the Birds of Lake Merced collection, its mighty wings are an outdoor spectacle full of grace and power. This impressive bird of prey beautifully demonstrates the miracles of nature's flight designs. We may speculate its relation to Vultures, Accipiters, or even Eagles, but the spirit of a hawk is uniquely its own.
