(60,082 posts)2. Thanks. My real thill today was seeing a Cooper's Hawk up close.
I only had a 50mm lens, so I couldn't get a good shot. It was enough to see one that close.
Earlier a Pileated Woodpecker flew over. It was a good day.

(90,800 posts)3. While crossing the dam from Texas to Louisiana the other day 2 turkey buzzards landed on the railing
- dive bombing prey below.
I was driving. No hands free. ...and they were so close. Not even 3 feet away.
Sniff. Sniff.
I agree. It was enough to see them that close.

His feathers reminded me of a Toucan's.
