Yesterday I visited the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge on the Great Salt Lake. I will post more photos later, but this set occurred as I was leaving the refuge. I saw a hawk on some prey. I am not a birder, so I cannot tell what bird was the hawk's victim. As I came up, the hawk departed. I then stayed to see if the hawk would return to its business. For fifteen minutes the hawk circled (my attempts revealed I had the speed set too slow for good BIFs). It would land near the prey and then look at me.

It was clear to me that I had better not approach.

As always, downloads are best.

He is a beauty, I just wish I had set a faster shutter when he was flying by eyeing me.
