I was out-and-about going to Best Buy looking for a 14" TV for my "computer room/den". I was driving through the neighborhood when I saw something on a neighbor's lawn. I thought I was seeing things, so I pulled over and got out of my car and walked over. This probably wasn't very smart, but I walked over to A HAWK that was standing on this guys lawn. He wasn't moving - he was obviously standing on something he caught. There were feathers everywhere. And you know that these digital cameras have crappy zooms on them, so I had to get closer for a better shot... Hell, I was about 4 feet away when I took that shot above. I've got this feeling that moving that close wasn't too smart, but the bird never moved a bit (other than blink his eye), and I wanted the shot...
