I went out today in the Experimental Farm in Ottawa (I live right in the middle of it) and was following this guy around. The picture isn't the best by far but I sorta like the outline/dark shadow effect. He flies around here often to feed off the pigeons. This is my first pic I'm posting here.

Cool shot. Does the hawk give up if he misses the first try?

That is a cool sight to capture, I see you have dust on you sensor, just take the lens off and beat, (tap) it on the side of your truck and it will fall out. Seriously, I did not have a cleaning kit or a blower and I just took off the lens and taped the body against my truck lightly, and when I put the lens back on and took some shots, the dust was gone. That was 300 shots ago.

No, he doesn't give up. He kept at it until I lost track of him then headed home. As for the dust, I only realized it after I uploaded the pics to my PC. I have a UV filter on the lens so I'll clean that first.
