There were actually two of them and they were just hanging around. They're quite magnificent and a lot of people were freaked out and afraid of them because they wouldn't move when you got close to them. Let me know if they are actually red tailed hawks or not... =]       2X Canon 1Dx|Canon 1D Mark IV|Canon 5D Mark III|14mm 2.8L II|16-35mm 2.8L II|24mm 1.4L II|35mm 1.4L|50mm 1.2L |85mm 1.2L II|70-200 2.8L IS|200mm 2.0L IS|300mm 2.8L IS|400mm 2.8L IS|800mm 5.6L IS| 580EX II| 600EX RT II|

The only time you have to be afraid of them is when you have a mouse in your pocket.
