A Partnership on the Wing


Almaty, Kazakhstan

From "The Big Picture" in The Boston Globe.

It's the alignment of the eyes that make this a perfect shot -- a blending of two into one that symbolizes the very nature of the relationship.

    Grey Goshawk
    Brown Goshawk
    Christmas Island Goshawk

    Fiji Goshawk
    White-bellied Goshawk
    Moluccan Goshawk
    Grey-headed Goshawk
    New Britain Goshawk
    Black Goshawk
    Henst's Goshawk
    Meyer's Goshawk
    Frances' Goshawk
    Gabar Goshawk
    Dark Chanting Goshawk
    Eastern Chanting Goshawk

    Another raptor that unites the world is the Osprey.

  3. Lots of fantastic photos, but number 7 is riveting, looking like something out of Mad Max.
