Observation details
Sophie and I almost overlooked this bird at first as it was flying just over a big flock of crows. Then it separated itself from the crows, gained some altitude, and just hovered motionless in place right over us as I first watched it in my bins and then took some photos of it. It must have been facing into the wind. Had time to lay down on my back to steady the camera. Don't remember having an experience quite like this before! When I reviewed the photos later, it looked like the hawk was looking directly at us in every one.
