I was able to talk my husband into letting me borrow the camera for the day so I went to Memorial Park. I went in hopes of getting a few shots of the Military memorials but was distracted by a large hawk who landed in a near by tree to pluck a pigeon. Once he got used to my presence and the persistent clicking of the camera, the hawk continued his meal. While he showed agitation at the approach of other visitors, he seemed to have accepted me and allowed me to get right up under him. In this picture he watches as I pulled a branch out of the way for a better shot. In fact he seemed so comfortable in my presence that I almost expected him to share his meal by tossing me a pidgeon wing.

That is a really cool shot. I have had some rather frightening encounters with hawks, so I try to keep my distance these days. Nice that he was so cooperative!
