Unexpected guest for breakfast
9/12/09
We were finishing our coffee on this Saturday morning when my wife and daughter both froze in their tracks, staring out the kitchen window. In a measured and cautious tone, my wife softly said "Get the camera." This was a first for us, seeing a hawk on the rail of our deck, only about 12 feet from where we stood. I snapped away and we all liked this one best: the hawk studying us as we studied him (her?).
The soft effect is due to shooting through a window, a screen and a misty rain. If anyone knows just what type of hawk this is, we'd love to know :-)
