Finding balance

@jamesy: Thanks, Debbie. It was a great moment! :)

@Kathryn: Thank you, Kathryn! After he flew away, I walked back to the car (grinning, of course) and saying, "I am such a lucky girl." LOL

@grouser: Thank you, Grouser. :)

@Lorraine: Thank you, Lorraine. Well, I do need help (there is so much to learn!!!), but I am certainly blessed when it comes to Great Raptor Moments. :)

@marc: Thank you, Marc! I don't believe we've met, have we? If you're Canadian, it's automatic . . . I already like you.

@kay: Thank you, Kay!

@Les: LOL! No, my phone usually just rings due to wrong numbers and telemarketers. I can't wait to see what Nat's done, today (I just got online a bit ago -- catching up on sleep, here). Thanks, Les! And, please tell Rod thanks for me, also. :)

@Rod: Thank you, Rod! Les told me you liked the photo, but it's great to actually "see" you in here!

@*Rich*: Thank you! I try! We have a lot of wonderful wildlife to photograph and I'm particularly fond of the winged critters. :)

@PD: Thank you, PD!

@MOHAMMAD: I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you. :)

@Pixim: Merci beaucoup, Pixim. :)

@Earnest: Many thanks, Earnest!

@Judy: Thank you, Judy!

@Magda: Thanks, Magda! I had no idea there was such a thing as the spotlight till today. Now, I have one more place to visit, daily. :)

@dan: Yeah, I wouldn't want to be a mouse in a field near that guy. :)

@Jeffster: Thank you. I think hawks are majestic. LOL Your fall photos are beautiful! I can see why you're having so much fun with them. :)

@Marie: Thank you, Marie!

@Jon: Many thanks, Jon!

@Sandrine: Thank you, Sandrine!

@Anita: Thank you, Anita!

@Marion: Thank you, Marion! They're awesome, majestic creatures, aren't they? We have a lot of hawks in our area, but it took some time before I figured out how to shoot them. You have to be a little bit sneaky and it helps to move slowly and stay in the shade, if you can. I was very fortunate that this one shifted and, in so doing, handed me a dream shot. :)

@joshi daniel: Thank you!
