I saw several hawks, I think, last summer on many occasions. They were soaring over the highway best I could tell. I swim a lot of backstroke and they're easy to spot. I posted a few months ago when I saw a bald eagle over the beltway in the Burke area. I'm sure that's what it was. Maybe a dozen years ago I saw a hawk take a finch right out of that same tree. It plopped right under the tree and chowed down on the finch. I got about twenty feet from it and took a whole role of pictures, none of which was any good. It didn't seem to mind me at all.

I have a cool picture of an alligator who fell asleep while eating a raccoon. Din-din still hanging out his mouth. Took that one on Sanibel Island. Grim shots of hawks reminded me. I have lots of kill shots from Africa, too. Grim, but very photogenic.
