Was driving through downtown Greenville this morning looking for picture opportunities and something caught my eye. I pulled over, got out of my Land Rover and approached the bird. Originally I thought someone had "propped up" a dead bird on the sidewalk so I thought I would take a couple of low vantage point shots. As I got close and kneeled down to take the shot, the bird's head quickly turned right towards me and the eyes opened! My heart skipped a couple of beats... After I settled down, I approached slowly with my M8 and took a few shots from several directions. Afterwards, I couldn't resist. I took one shot with my latest camera (the Polaroid 250 Land Camera). I hope to scan some of these photos later and end up with a neat post from the Polaroids. Later determined that the bird is probably a baby hawk. Look at those feet/talons and look at those eyes. I think you can see that he was watching me like a hawk...
