  • Ferruginous hawk in flight overhead against blue sky, Colorado, USA, [Note: This photo was on the Getty website for about 5 years, and had some spectacular sales including a lucrative corporate use. Then there were no sales for 3 years and Getty took it down. Now they only have five "ferruginous hawk" photos, and four are mis-identified.
