This hawk was eating lunch in my neighbor's yard yesterday.

Man that's really nice. I've been travelling to work with my still, it's a 2.5hr drive, and am hoping I see a hawk like that.

Thank you.
I was very lucky. I live in Thousand Oaks, and there is an open space (protected) behind my house. Coyotes and hawks everywhere. The coyotes come right up next to the house at night. I came out of my garage and literally couldn't believe my eyes. My dog started to go over there. I called him back and went in to grab the camera. I had to change lenses and the hawk was still there. I kept pushing closer and closer staying kind of low. I actually have shots of strands of the rabbit being pulled up. Amazing.

Ya, the hawk. The rabbit looks kinda dead.

Great shot maverickstunts.
