Wild Kingdom, Surburbia Edition

This morning, Erin had a soccer game at 8am - again. All of her spring games this season have been at that time. on the one hand, it's nice. You get it over with and can do something with your day (as opposed to the 11am or 1pm games, which are smack in the middle of the day, and are kind of a pain when it comes to scheduling other things). But on the other hand? It's 8am. On SATURDAY. Give me a break... Anyway, this morning, I positioned myself, as I do each week, on the bleachers on the field's home side so I'd be shooting with the sun to my back. A few minutes before game time, I heard a strange noise, and looked up on the field lights on the other side of the field. There was a hawk perched up there, just taking in the view of the backyards up the hill from him. A few other birds were apparently quite disturbed by his presence, and were squawking and dive-bombing him in an effort to get him to leave. After a few minutes of taking this abuse, apparently he decided it wasn't worth staying there, and flew away. But I caught a few shots of him along the way. Amazing what you see hanging out in suburbia!
