A video clip of still shots of primarily Broad-winged hawks - Buteo platytperus in migration. Note how the profiles change. The pics with broad wing and flared tail are most often while the hawk is soaring in a "thermal" (a current of warm rising air) When the profile shows the wings tightly tucked, the bird is "streaming" or in glide and moving quite rapidly. Note all of the different forms of the Broad-winged hawk in flight.

  • Hola

    Soy ornitólogo aficionado y me compré la Lumix fz18, la cual está por llegar. Quería preguntarte qué opinión tienes de la cámara para esta actividad. Tengo entendido que no se puede hacer hacer zoom mientras se graba video, me podrías decir qué tal la calidad de los videos que hace. Gracias.
