Swainsons Hawk

Michael and I had to make a frozen coke run this afternoon and I spotted this Extremely LARGE Hawk sitting on the electric post at the beginning of the driveway when we returned. I had the Canon Powershot in the truck but I honestly didn't think he'd sit there while I stopped and pulled the camera out but he did...Sheesh he was big!! Absolutely gorgeous too! I just hope he doesn't go after our chickens, eeek...I'm glad I had the powershot in the truck but really wished I had had the Rebel Xti and the telephoto lens just to see if the photos would have been better.

Wow.. Still what an encounter... Beautiful moment you got there, but yes a pity you were not equipped better... Next time you will have everything you need!
