I didn't find the hawk, but I believe what I did find more than makes up for not seeing the hawk: a pair of Northern River Otters. Judging from the numerous tracks, slides and trails, the abundant scat and many meal remnants on the bank of the river I'm 99% sure I found a den site. http://wildlightphoto.com/mammals/mustelidae/nrotte02.html By the time I found the otters it was mid-morning and the lighting was tricky to work with so I believe that with patience and an earlier start I can do better than this photo, but I'm not complaining :) Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R + 1.4x APO-Extender-R, shouldeer stock & monopod.
