The first duck is a black scoter, the second "duck" is a pied-billed grebe. The hawk is hard to identify with the shots as presented. I could make some guesses, but I have no idea how big it is. First guess is a red-shouldered hawk. Looks like the birds were pretty far away. Is there easy access there to get closer? -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
