Beth,

thanks for the feedback...

it was fun trying to figure it out. Mom got a kick out of it especially. She used to love observing and listening to and looking up birds when we lived that side of the ocean. She got out another bird book too to cross-check the habitats, but Peterson's was the most helpful in every aspect. His field guides are phenomenal.

As for your Hawk s/he certainly was majestic looking. i'm sure one had to "be there" to fully appreciate though.

take care
