It looks like he has his eye on something.

I wouldn't say many. Other people have more luck than I do finding them.

They are fun to watch hunt.

Nice catch! We hear them from time to time, but I've never seen one.

Cool pic. We have quite a few around here. I love to sit on my deck and call one in. It’s amazing how quiet they are in flight. I watched one hunt in the woods for about an hour several years back while I was deer hunting. Completely silent in flight.

Nice shot! There used to be one that came around my area, but the word would get out and we'd end up with 50 people with long lenses trampling through bushes... Haven't seen him in a couple of years, probably scared off.

Yep, pretty much! All the people down here would trample through the bushes with their big 600mm primes and tripods. Argh!
