Thanks, Judy for ALL of your kind reviews of my photographs. I'm pleased you enjoyed them !

Absolutely beautiful capture! I have a similar involving a bald eagle but not near as crisp as yours. Well done.

Thanks, Jennifer. It was almost as if they were playing in the sky. A kingbird was also engaging the hawk. The raptor could have dispatched either one, but did not. That suggests to me that all parties were reveling in the blue sky mirthful tumbling.

Incredible Shot! I've seen something similar years ago. One chasing the other and the hawk stopping midflight, the small bird flew under and then the hawk captured him and flew away. Dinner was served. l/f

Thanks ! It was exactly at this time last summer. I realize how rare it was, when I return and find the hawk family has moved on.
