8. What a group of fascinating photos!

Hawks are beautiful to me, in a sinister kind of way. I have to remind myself they eat mice and other pests and provide balance to nature.

That said, those are really fabulous shots, George!

[George McGovern]

10. Thank You Diamond! I can see sinister, also balance in nature. Glad I'm not a mouse.
