I took advantage of a snow day from work and went out to take pics. Glad I did! I got a Hawk, an Eagle pic, Deer, Fox, Geese, a big Gull, Coots, and Duck pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I left the house this morning in search of some Hawks and Eagles at the lower dam in Loch Raven Reservoir. Upon arrival, I immediately saw a big immature eagle flying by, which I found a few minutes later perched in a tree and managed to get a good full-frame image of after it flew off – I’ll post that later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, I kept hearing a Hawk somewhere on the other side of the stream. So, I decided to walk down to where I could cross and work my way back up towards the dam (and along the way I spooked a bunch of Deer, but that is for a later post also). Then I heard the Hawk again and remembered what I was looking for; I looked around, and voila! At first all I got were pics of it’s back, but I guess it wanted to keep a better eye on me when it turned around. If only it wasn’t so high up in the tree, but as they say, beggars can’t be choosers…<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hawk eventually got tired of me invading it’s territory. \u00a0I looked down at my camera to change some settings, but when I looked back up it was gone. \u00a0I located it later when I was about to leave (1-1\/2 hours later it was still ‘cawwing’ loudly, or whatever it is Hawks do) and took this last shot from far away (pretty big crop)…<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"hawk1\"](\"https:\/\/chapspics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/110222_MAS5554.jpg\")
