Any chance of posting a larger image or perhaps post a link to a clickable image?
It may also be an idea to crop the image so we can concentrate on the bird.

Small point of interest....
I recently spent some time with the woman who manages the vivarium in La Paz.
She said that the Harris Hawk is the only hawk native to Baja.

Baja Brit. I don't think that is an Osprey. Here in Idaho they have white on breast and head. However awesome pictures, what camera were you using.

Osprey
Tortuga:
Ospreys are common in Baja. Anywhere near water you may see them daily.
All 3 shots were taken this year in Baja Sur.

Thanks everyone! Most educational! I have now been able to identify my friend who hangs out in the Palm Tree as a Harris Hawk.

I was just using a Fujifilm S7000:
I have since upgraded somewhat, so next time I spot one I'll have even better photo's!
Thanks for correcting me on the bird chaps.
