Here's an American Kestrel (falcon type bird not as large as a hawk however).  Also taken at the Irvine, CA Wildlife Sanctuary.  It's an area where there are several ponds, creeks and loads of dirt path walkways, etc.  This Kestrel was difficult to capture.  I was unable to get close.  As soon as he saw me aim the 400mm lens he took off.  Fortunately I was able to snap a few before he fled.  Luckily he returned a few times within my two hour session there.
