went {today/Nov18} on a photo-hike, and didn't find TOO much out on trails so took my 2 little brats to let them play on the playground, and as I watched them, I noticed a pic'nicing couple with a teeny baby in an infant carrier which was sitting on the picnic table. Just overhead...was this hawk....watching the baby intently.....as if sizing up whether it could lift this wiggling cherub or not. hahaha : seriously! Don't worry...Mom's are way deadlier than hawks...so the baby was never in any danger. Still...it's a true story...:)

Great capture Terri ... This should score high. I'm envious as always of your "Hawk" shots. I just never seem able to spot one at rest, they are always soaring above teasing me on high. Drat !! :)

This is a fantastic photo Terri, I love how you captured the look in the eye, and the blue sky and natural framing of the branches is perfect. Very well done my dear.

Love your commentary. Brought a chuckle, many of which I can use. This is a superb capture of the bird (Egggray, move over). I mean it's PERFECT. Congrats.

This is a great capture of this hawk Terri! They can be nasty buggers but I've never heard of one of them attacking a baby.

Beauftiful hawk and between the mom and you, that hawk did not stand a chance trying to grab that baby!!

I SERIOUSLY doubt any hawk would swoop a baby....and maybe I should not have told the story. He was certainly fascinated with the baby.....and intently watching...but maybe he was hoping the people would leave some KFC on the table?:)

That hawk probably was doing exaclty as you excribed -- firguring out that the baby was too heavy. That won't always stop a hawk, if he calculates that he can still kill the thing and eat it without taking it away.
NO, mothers are not nearly as fast as a hawk -- as I discovered once when I ran out my door to rescue three baby ducks in a pen. The hawk was circling high overhead and I only had 20 feet to run, but I didn't get there in time.
Beautiful shot.

I saw this at the voting and had to come to learn more about the shot. So this is not only a wonderful picture, it also has a funny little story behind. Great job!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Hello Terri...Fantastic picture...Some of the most impressive animals on earth are birds of prey. Their piercing eyes, sharp beaks, and strong talons are part of an image of noble power here in the Uk....You should be really proud of this picture...Excellent work Terri....All the best...Mick
