But that passion you feel for something like this, even if you don't know exactly what it is you're looking at, is infectious. And I'm sure your girls will wonder at nature, as I suspect they do already, as much as you do! Yeah for wildlife!!!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467969521918613052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13335908.post-13623682434340560102008-02-29T01:55:00.000-05:002008-02-29T01:55:00.000-05:00That's definitely a hawk.

Although I still point out the turkeys and the deer to my kids...every time. I'm sure they're probably rolling their eyes at me.

I also get excited by seeing wildlife. Fortunately I live in the country so I see lots. My 15 year old daughter rolls her eyes at me when I slow the car to gaze on deer or turkey in the field. I have seen several hawks but have never had the opportunity to photograph them. Your pictures are great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894810999091101358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13335908.post-81208089004905468992008-02-27T15:57:00.000-05:002008-02-27T15:57:00.000-05:00Red-Tailed Hawk maybe?Red-Tailed Hawk maybe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
