1. Great shot also!

   • Thank you–not too bad for an iPhone shot through a window. 🙂

     • Not at all.

     • 🙂

     • Thank you, Marian!

   • Thank you, Frank!

3. Whoa! Quick response for you to capture this dive for food! It is a fine and natural haiku. I love the bold title, too!

   • Thank you, Robin. I was at the sink and saw the bird perch. I grabbed my iPhone and just held it there. I’m not usually that quick–or lucky. 🙂

4. Awesome photo! Nice of the hawk to wait for you. The thrill of the hunt, vicariously.

   • Thanks, Ken. Pure luck with my iPhone. 🙂

5. Action-packed shot, Merril! Captured in words too 🙂

   • Thanks, Jane. 🙂

     • 🙂

6. Boo. Poor rabbit. So not boo to the poem, but boo to the bunny’s end. Great shot! We have hawks here. They looks so large, so I am always surprised when I read online how they are not really very big at all.

   • Thanks, Luanne. I was sad about the rabbit, too. I actually sent my husband out to see what the hawk had pounced on though. This was a small hawk, but some are bigger. I guess hawks are smaller than other birds of prey. We have lots of turkey vultures here–they are big and ugly. 🙂

     • What are their natures like, I wonder?

7. The vultures–efficient. They do tidy up. 🙂
   I think they look graceful when they fly.

8. Ouch!

   • 🙂

9. Love that second line Merril.

   • Thank you, Janice!

10. Cool photo in action

    • Thank you!

11. Poor rabbit. Nice shot.

    • Thank you. Yes, poor rabbit. 😦 I didn’t actually see it–I sent my husband out to look.

      • Yes, better from afar. Sounds like watching ‘nature’ on PBS. Only, really in the flesh☺

      • 🙂
