Birds of prey are pretty awesome.
Wish I had a photo like that!

Peter you and your hawk seem to have had similar plumage!
Have you read Helen Macdonald's 'H Is for Hawk'? I highly recommend it. It's about much more than raptors—life, death and other easy topics.
Thanks, Ari. It was very interesting....but also a ton of work. I got interested in it while reading a Hardy Boys book when I was in 6th grade.
You're right, Richard! I didn't know about that one. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Rag Microscope 8X10 Print with Rag by TIN CAN COLLEGE, on Flickr
1999 I 'made' this completely DIGI
The Dyed 'Rag' was shot with toy DIGI Hasbro microscope
The image is the fibers, vastly enlarged to 8X10 printed on board with EPSON
The rag makes it 3D and pokes out of a hole in the print
This is 1 of 5 made same time, all vary
I made it in an all women SAIC Textiles class
Learned a lot

Thanks Peter and Tin Can.
There are many such towns near Hangzhou and Suzhou, China known for the canals. The tour books call this area “Venice of China”. This shot was taken in the city of Shaoxing a few years ago. I took a long weekend from a business trip to Hangzhou which in itself a beautiful city. Anyway I didn’t choose Shaoxing randomly. Shaoxing is home to the famous Shaoxing wine. I bought a small bottle of the local stuff and enjoyed it by myself in the hotel room. The wine tasted like Japanese sake but with more flavour. Pretty smooth at room temperature.
Now, that is really cool! Closest I got to something like that was helping a buddy of mine with his fancy pigeons. Of course, they would of been prey to your hawk!Just to give you all something to point and laugh at, here's a photo of my hawk, Screamer, and I, circa 1985:
