I apologise for the quality of these shots, but I really thought this was neat so I figured I'd share....
I was walking to work the other day, and I noticed a bird in the distance that seemed to be diving into the harbour, but not the way that a seagull or cormorant would, as I got closer it landed on top of a nearby flag pole.

So I sat for a bit waiting and hoping for it to do its dive again, and guess what?
It flew off its perch and circled around, I realized at this point that it was a red tailed hawk.

and dove into the water,

Caught something and flew off.

PS: I think this guy down on the right might have gotten better shots of it, if anyone knows him??
