The California Hawking Club (falconers) held their annual field meet last
week in Sacramento; many of the birds that weren't out flying were 'parked'
in a makeshift weathering yard in a hotel's courtyard.  One of the birds in
the weathering yard was this immature Northern Goshawk who hadn't cleaned
up after breakfast:

technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400 -1 stop, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, tripod,
mirror pre-release & cable shutter release.  Exposure about 1/60 sec @
f/whatever.  Air temperature was in the mid-20s.

All comments welcome.
