I hiked a bit closer expecting him to fly off but he stayed. I was able to rattle off quite a few shots. When he did fly off he circled me for five minutes. I shot a full 265 images of this guy, a little overkill but I was so excited. Let me know what you think, C&C much appreciated     "You are going to fall off a cliff trying to get a better shot someday"- My hopeful and loving wife

Given how every hawk I have ever shot has been extremely camera shy, if I had one hanging around long enough to shoot that many shots, I'd have done the same thing. Great shots.
