It was a nice clear day today. The first in awhile. Even though the  
wind chill was around 25F I needed the exercise but didn't plan on  
taking any bird photos. All I had was my 70-200 zoom and a 2X  
extender with me. Not a good birding setup.

I say this hawk after about 10 minutes into my walk. But he wouldn't  
let me get close. He flew off and perched about four different times.  
I followed him about a half mile. The closest I got was about 150  
feet which is where I took this shot. It's about a 3X crop but since  
I hadn't posted a bird photo in quite some time I posted it anyway.   
I'm sure he had his eye on me the whole time.
