Guardian of the electricity pole : )

Had a great day yesterday, when Flickr friends, Ron and Trish, invited me to go with them to look for Snowy Owls NE and E of the city. No luck with the Snowy Owls, but I was thrilled to bits that we saw at least 35 Rough-legged Hawks to the E and S of the city! Here is one of them, sitting for five seconds on a typical, unphotogenic perch. So many of the Hawks were really skittish, but I managed to get a few shots. Unlike Ron and Trish, I don't go for in-flight shots - just can't do it with my little point-and-shoot : ) Thanks so much, you guys, for giving me such an enjoyable day out with you! So much appreciated!
