Swooping Red Shouldered Hawk

Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion - Luling, LA

While running errands for the past few days, I kept noticing a couple of pelicans in the Davis Freshwater Diversion. I went looking for them today, but alas they were not there. I did spot this hawk, an eagle, some ducks, egrets, herons and a few cormorants http://www.pbase.com/etfitz/birds

Nikon D70s
1/1250s f/9.0 at 270.0mm full exif
