Of all the species on this site, there's none I've spent more time photographing (and studying) than this unique raptor. Being the only hawk I know of that spends it's entire seasonal life cycle on the lower Barnegat Bay, I've watched them in mating rituals, fledging their young, mantling, fighting, and even copulating The photos you'll see here were taken over a span of many years of a single group with one male and several females and the juveniles they produced.
