Those are beautiful pictures, SWAMPSNIPER. I've become somewhat of a birdwatcher myself because I have a baby daughter that refuses to cry while outside and I have several boxes of tomatoes that I believe will carry me until January.
Anyway, I recently saw a hawk take rest atop some pines in my neighbor's yard. He was a magnificent bastard. My camera phone sucks like an airplane toilet so I just stood there and watched, infant in hand, at what God has done.
Thanks, all. I guess I'm not so much a "birdwatcher" as I am someone who is just fascinated, and amazed, in general.
