I have such awful luck with wildlife pics. This guy looked at me for 2
minutes without moving a feather. I calmly got up, went into the house,
grabbed my camera, and as soon as I re-emerged he bailed out on me!

What a poor sport.


I saw it. We have a young red-shouldered hawk in our backyard, raised
in a tall pine tree. It is very camouflaged, spotted and barely
invisible when still. The parents nearly cleaned out the frogs in the
pond and most of the snakes. The baby hawk has been flying for two
weeks, yet I see the parents are still feeding it although less and
less.
