Sir,
First, thank you for that boost!! I had been a little hesitant to post among so many brilliant photographers. The rules had me a bit edgy too, not knowing really what was going to happen if I screwed up or made a mistake. So happy to be in good company!
The camera details are (I have to look at the EXIF) photographed as I drove at 3-4mph along a dirt road near Hemet California with my 'critter gitter,' Barbara Copp. She saw the hawk take off from one roadside fencepost---I didn't have my camera ready--and told me that it had landed on yet another a quarter mile behind us. I made a round-robin three mile drive then slowed again, cradling my Pentax *istDS 6-megapixel with 70-300mm macro telephoto in my left arm, shooting two or three shots when it took off. The result was one of my favorite shots, with the crisp hawk and muted background of the snow-covered summit of Mt. San Jacinto, California, in the background. I will send the EXIF info as soon as I can.
Again, thank you for your wonderful comment. I am humbled and pleased. I will visit you soon if I can figure out how to maneuver in the Ugly Hedgehot.

Jim, when you post a shot if you click "save original" just to the right of browse,that gives us all the ability to see a larger size shot and also look at the EXIF, so we don't need to ask. :D
