1. This is absolutely wonderful, dear George!

The colors in the trees and in the hawk even match!

And the details are sharp and clear as well.

Superb shooting!

[George McGovern]

3. Thanks so much Peggy! Serendipity, pure and simple.

2. Wow, what great shots!

I love how the late day light makes the hawk’s tail feathers almost translucent. What a magnificent creature. Well done!

15. Thank you, beautiful.

That's what I saw fly over my house yesterday. Same coloring, or is that from the sunset. The tail wasn't so colorful.

[George McGovern]

16. You're welcome mountain grammy. Aren't they wonderful to see?

This hawk was airborne just as the sun was going down and its colors were brightened.

22. Thank You SheltieLover!

The hawk was there when I was. Took a step or two too many and it took off. Fortunate for a space in the leaves to see it.
