I should never go out without my camera.
I took an early walk in the cemetery this morning and there in the grass, right in front of me, was a young red-tailed hawk finishing off his breakfast. He let me approach to within five feet of him -- I kid you not. He never did fly away; I decided to leave, thinking that as a novice hunter he was probably really hungry and therefore unwilling to leave what was left of his catch -- which wasn't enough to be identifiable. He must have spent his entire little life in the cemetery; he was utterly without fear of me.
I could have gotten a great shot with the Brownie camera I had when I was nine -- but of couse I had no camera at all!
Walked: 3 miles.

I just found at a flea market last weekend, a Kodak Duaflex camera! I snagged it for $3.00. I had to order film online ....620. The film waw more than the camera. I was so busy this week end I did not have a chance to load it up and go do my thing. Your comment about the Brownie camera brought this on! That is terrible about not having a camera!
You are really challenging me. Yesterday it was the dictionary I had to get out, today I have to research hawks. Would you dumb it down so I can understand what you are talking about, lol. Pamela
WOW! That's really neat!

Isn't that ALWAYS the way it goes! Lisa :-]
We went to a presentation on Raptors this week. One was a red tailed hawk who had been shot. :-(
