I was sitting on my patio in my backyard and this hawk flew in and perched on a tree nearby. It just sat there staring at me. After about ten minutes of staring at each other, the sun started to come out from behind some clouds and he ruffled his wings as if he was going to fly away, then turned around and resumed the staredown. So I went inside and got my camera and came back out, he turned a bit (I guess so the sun would be lighting him better), I shot a few pictures, lowered my camera and our brief relationship ended as he flew away.
