@ 11.21.13. Several hawks tend to spend winters in a few relatively open and/or wooded areas near my house. On any given day, you might see one or a half dozen within a half mile radius of the area. Shooting pics from the road is almost mandatory since all surrounding land is private and to make things even harder, there is both a middle school and high school within sight distance so locals and the police often take a dim view of long lensed shooters with the police on average, being far more tolerant than the locals.
Taking good pictures is far harder than it used to be when people were far more tolerant... but it is what it is so I'll keep doing it.
