We have small lots, 2 story-houses, and very big, old trees here, so more times than not, shooting the hawks is an exercise in stick-picking (this one out an upstairs window, no less!):

I was surprised when this red-tail sailed over and stayed put and close:

It poured most of today so I was feeling about like this by the time we finished:

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Extraordinary photos can not be had standing where everyone else is standing, looking where everyone else is looking
