Good way to kick off 2011. Had stop to look at some Sandhills and this guy comes flying up just as I turned around. Landed on the wire then noticed there was a guy with a camera and took off.

Wow. Outstanding, Chris.

Great start to 2011 is right! I really like how you caught the bird looking at you, and well lit, in every shot. Hard to do!

Thanks Joel and Pam
I was looking at the Sandhills but the light was wrong then a Harrier was looking like he was going to come my way. Turned around and he was coming right for me in just the right angle.:D
It is the first blue sky we have had in a while around here. I hope it holds up for the weekend. Have another photo blind date

Very nice captures of a hard bird to even to get close to.
