I interrupted my normal Sunday athletic endeavors when I spied a red-tailed hawk just sitting there...

Okay, he says, I see him now...I'll let him take a few shots cause I know he won't bother me too long....

Yes, I'll pose for some close-ups too....

I'll even pose with my mouth open - I know how much you camera hounds enjoy that....

But now I've had enough. You've obviously already shot nearly 2 gigs worth, and frankly, you've overstayed your welcome....




AND THEN HE FLIPPED ME THE BIRD!!!:bow:bow:bow Now I know what they're really thinking when I get close enough to annoy before they fly away....

    Nice shots; even the last capture of its rude insolence. Must have been one of those punk teenager RTHs. What is it with them these days? I hope you saluted him back in kind when you were finished.

    Wow, splendid series!
    It must have been a real thrill to get that close, even if you did get flipped-off. :giggle

    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!"
