Thanks for the IDs folks!!!!

Re.: headless hawk, yeah I was scratching my head when I saw the headless thumbnail the first time wondering how the heck I got a headless photo posted :)

Re.: lens used, I had my "Universal" 18-200MM VR Nikkor mounted for that picture. It's not the sharpest lens in my arsenal but as said in the intro this fellow allowed me to get really close at around 5-6 feet (with a few branches in the way though) which allowed me to frame him nicely.

Pam, get another slushy and freeze that brain again :)

Another pic just to make sure that the head is still there ;)
