This is a shot I've been working hard to get for a long time. A problem I never expected to have is the hawks are always flying right at my face and I can't focus on them. This time, I managed to catch the bird coming at me from a long way off, so I had time to focus on it as it came towards me. Now the challenge is managing to do this a second time...

This one pretty much sums up the day: happy satisfaction.

Side note: For a while now, I've been saying the hawks like the music (loud punk bands) in the park. I have no scientific proof of this, only personal observation. So, I was amused this weekend to see one of the juvenile hawks sit in a tree right over the stage on Saturday as the band Transgendered Jesus played. On Sunday, Christo flew across the stage during a set by Penguin, then sat in a nearby tree for three more bands before moving right over the stage to take in the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a shot of the hawks and the bands together, but they were there...
