Went eagle hunting on the west coast of Fla.,supposed to be a lot of them in that area; after about 4 hours and gitting late the only bird I saw was
this hawk.

After lots of shots and the sucker would not move despite heavy traffic under the tree I started home and halfway home on a dead tree beside the
highway there he was. I did manage to get a couple of clicks .

    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!"
