I had just started shooting (this is with a Canon XSi) so it was lucky that the hawk was intent upon protecting his kill. I probably took over a hundred photos and this was the only one close to good. This is about an 80% crop. It was very near dark and I had no idea what I was doing in 2008.

At first I wasn't sure what was happening in this photo! : 8)
Your description of the events make viewing the photo so much more interesting! Something I need to remind myself to do more often rather than just post a picture.
Thanks
