The past 2 days while we drove past Edgemont there was a large group of huge hawks sitting in the grass, on the fence on atop the nearest telephone wire.

Today, I decided to push my luck and go down in hopes of viewing them again with the camera!!

At first I saw none, but as I walked around the hill more, I saw what I though a gofers.
I decided not to waste the opportunity and get at least one picture, so I went to frame for the gofer.

Just then, the gofer flew up in the air, grew wings, and out of the grass came 2 hawks!! They looked SO much like gofers from the distance, but were actually hawks!! It was so amazing!! Love these pictures!

That's actually a rather large size for wild birds.
Especially considering the rainy season we've had here.


@ Marie, it's Moraine Lake, about a 2 hour drive from my place.
Very beautiful place.
That's actually straight out of the camera, except for a small dodge/burn on the sky and the trees.
The Lake is actually blue. It's beautiful.

There's not "still" snow.
The snow is just starting to come back.
It's got for about the month of July, then comes back around Mid August until next july.
VERY cold at the peaks of the mountains.
Was about 15 at the bottom where I was.
