This hawk (Not sure what kind at all) was just hanging out on one of the main pathways near the hospital that I work at. He didnt seem to mind all of the people walking past him at all. He was more intent on finding a squirrel to snack on.

Wow, that must have been a site to see. I bet you were wishing that you had packed your 24mm. :-)

#1 is about as in-your-face a hawk shot as you can get. Great situation you found yourself in!

The last red tail I went after was a little less secure of himself but this one seemed to care less if I stood right under him and took pictures..It was quite nice. :) Really beautiful bird.
