Hawk on a Golf Course

The other day I passed this beauty (driving past Sun Valley Golf Course in La Mesa) - I stopped the car in the middle of the road and snapped this shot before someone came up behind me. Unfortunately, he turned his head to look behind him just as the shutter opened. He was so close, just a few feet away. It was a great opportunity to admire just how big hawks are - an impressive sight!

Later that day I heard about this news story. It's a pretty good guess that this bird won't meet the same fate what with the publicity of the story. Keep your tempers in check, golfers! ;-)
