11. That shot was serendipity

from a burst. No other way to get lucky with it in flight. I was amazed I even had the camera pointed in the right direction and that the hawk flew up to the fence from my side, rather than the pond side.

Both hawks flew over the pond a couple of times, but my best shot of them together in flight was too far away to be very good.
