This close-angle shot of a majestic, female
red-tailed hawk was shot without flash or filters by
Carol Freeman, owner of Carol Freeman Photography, during Nature Conservancy Days at the Lake County
Forest Preserves' Ryerson Woods. Says Freeman: "Nature
is so beautiful in and of itself, I could not possibly improve it by any means." Freeman is a member of the Nature
Conservancy whose clients include the Lake County Forest
Preserves, the Chicago Botanic Garden and Chicago
Wilderness magazine, for which she serves as layout designer
and photo editor. This photograph was published as a poster
that is available at www.carolfreemanphotography.com.
