What’s interesting about that photo is that we took four hawks into the field. I’m not sure about the extra raptor here, but it’s probably a resident red-tailed hawk.

And here are two of our birds headed off to check out something interesting.
The pictures here are from the Nikon D2Xs with Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 800.

I think it is funny that you took four and found five.
