What a wonderful capture, Laurie--the best of the three, I think, though I did love the composition in yesterday's, too. Amazing detail, clarity and color here. What a thrill it must have been to get these. Were you on foot? #5886793

Thanks so very much friends. I have been thrilled beyond thrilled to be able to get this many images. I have one or two more from my shoot! I was on foot, Nikki...with tripod and camera in hand and trying to protect camera from the drizzle and rain which kept threatening to end my fun. Now that I am back to work, I will miss seeing my hawk, but I do hear that he was around today again...hopefully he likes it here and will stick around for awhile. As much as I know he threatens the birds that I love so much...he is such a magnificent creature and I think he likes me...well, tolerates me anyway! #5887259

WOW, another FANTASTIC capture Laurie, I would have been thrilled myself.
I had geese last night in a field by our pond, I crawled and walked and they didn't even fly away, I just need a bigger zoom. #5887402
