Looking The Other Way

The hawk was nice enough to look the other way so I could get a shot of both profiles. The eyes were a pretty deep brown with hints of amber. Large dark head on a stocky body. I could not see the tail very well as it was behind part of the power pole but I could see it was shorter than a cooper's would be.
