WoW,, nice caught,
Definitely making lots of noise but seemed more like a mother yelling at her children. She just happened to look down at me for the picture. A hawks way of saying cheese.
Shocked hawk!
That explains the expression!
Was she making much noise? Looks like she's yelling: "You just keep away!"
Beautiful!
Great shot!
