Beautiful! A juvenile showed up a couple hours northeast of me last fall, and attracted a lot of attention due to sticking around for a few days.

Very nice, John; I still don't have a decent shot of one.

Thank you and you are welcome. I saw 4 that day which is by far the most I have seen. I usually only see one.

Thanks Al. Hawks can be so difficult to get decent shots. Almost as tough as some Owls.
