It's that intense eyebrow, which enhances his ability to see movement on the ground far below even in strong sunlight, that gives the hawk the well-deserved monikor. What gives THIS hawk intensity in your wonderful photo is your ability to capture such incredible detail surrounding that hawkeye. Gorgeous colors and huge impact, Valarie. #8593173
