Cockeyed

I do not usually post a shot twice but I liked this one and I know some of you do not view the Avian forum.
This Hawk was giving me a most inquisical look after I climbed some concrete chunks to get a little better angle.

Nice sharp shot Dan and a fine pose. I wouldn't normally care for this perch but I like it here. Interesting image and it certainly fits the theme.

Nice image and from my experience very unusual for the hawk to let you get this close.

It fits here in the WC Dan..
He's not "cockeyed".. He's wondering how that shutter finger would taste :wink:

Whoa, that's not just eye contact -- that's a redtail studying you very closely. Nice look.

Great look you are getting from this red-tailed Dan!
