joayne Cream of the Crop  More info | Feb 27, 2008 19:03 | #8 Excellent First Bird and you don't know how many folks are jealous that this is your first shot.. Many of us wait years to get a great shot like that. Hawks tend to keep their distance. Well Done! joayne Contribute to POTN | Worldwide Photo Week

Feb 27, 2008 19:19 | #9 Thank you Liz and Joayne... I must have gotten lucky because I never see hawks in the backyard, and this guy was pretty photogenic -- he didn't budge from that pose for 30 minutes!
