Grasshopper is a Swainson's Hawk who has cataracts. He's a very

Thor is a Ferruginous Hawk who collided with a Union Pacific freight
train somewhere in Nevada and was discovered stuck to the front of

Good Mornin' Doug!
Put a good camera in the hands of a photographer and you get
wonderful photos.
Put that same camera in the hands of a master, and you get the above.
I love 'em all, Doug, but Sadie, for me, is far and away, the best.
Thanks.
