    I love how it looked at you in the second shot. Guess you surprised it. Then of course it tried to hide as shown in the third shot

    Wonderful shots & great colors. I like the first two most, the reflection is awesome!:thumbsup:

    I have never seen hawks bathing before. What camera/lens did you use?

    Thanks... I used a Nikon D300 with a 300mm prime F2.8 lens with a 1.7 teleconverter - so basically 515mm @F4.8.
    Nikon D300 & D7000
