>Thanks to Doug Herr for reminding all of us Bay Area Luggers about the
>Golden Gate Raptor Observatory's 25th Anniversary celebration out at
>Fort Cronkite last weekend.  I spent some time late Sunday morning
>shooting some "volunteers" hosted by Native Bird Connections
>(http://www.nativebirds.org).  They were all beautiful, with some
>pretty wild stories: the peregrine falcon
>(http://www.nativebirds.org/1419/3571.html) flew to Bay Area on Delta
>Airlines from Milwaukee, the Swainson's hawk (1999,
>http://www.nativebirds.org/1419/3553.html) ran into a car belonging to
>a field biologist studying him, the Rough Legged hawk
>(http://www.nativebirds.org/1419/3544.html) came here from Wyoming
>after loosing a wing in a collision with a car, and the female Red
>Tailed hawk (http://www.nativebirds.org/1419/1715.html) who, unlike
>most Bay Area residents, is a "local" girl.
>
>There were also two beautiful birds from another organization, a kite
>and a male Red Tailed hawk.
>
>Anyone know the latin name for the specimen in image 5?

>Technical details: Nikon D200, 80-200/2.8 and an 500/4 ED-IF P.
