[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I live in a pretty big city (Brampton) just outside of Toronto and occasionally I see hawks flying quite high, circling but this one decided to land across the driveway from my house on a neighbors fence. I had my camera close by, so I grabbed it and ran outside.

I got to within 5 feet of him and started snapping. They really are beautiful creatures.

Shot with my D200 + Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G:
