He has his eye on me, but his claws are holding down his prey, which he scooped up from the road before flying onto the fairway. I first spotted him sitting on top of one of the lamps on the hotel driveway, then I followed him onto the fairway snapping photos all the time. Ultimately, I walked down the slope towards the pond so I could try to frame him against the sky. I'll show those pictures in another post. While I was snapping away, he started squawking, and a few seconds later a second hawk landed on the fairway. I wasn't able to get them both in the same shot until a few minutes later when they met in my favorite tree. Stay tuned.
