At least I don't have to be embarassed about figuring out what this one is doing......

I thought of you this weekend. I saw two hawks on top of a phone pole, making babies. I almost stopped to get a shot but decided to let them have some privacy...Unlike someone I know.

Jake is that the beautiful European Starling? He looks so regal and proud standing there. Once again you have managed to produce a perfectly exposed masterpiece. I am envious.
