IMAGE 3 of 4. (For 2 of 4, click "Next" etc.) After taking a number of shots through a bedroom window with the Hawk perched above my feeders, I decided to go outside; however, as soon as the Hawk saw me it flew to this tree behind my neighbours house. I was able to get these series of shots from my backyard. This is the third in a SERIES of four shots I will be posting, all taken from this location.

In the current image the Hawk is taking off after releasing ballast as shown in image 2 of the series.
