I don't know if it is just on my end or hive.blog or what but lately my followers and rep have been jumping around a bit. Whether I actually have 500 followers or not, I'm using that as the excuse for posting my first stock image here. Followers are not a measure I generally pay much attention to (especially in light of hive's history) so I figured if I was to acknowledge it then I should also make the post a bit useful.
I'm not quite sure what sort of hawk this is (@melinda010100 do you recognize it?) but I happened across it during a morning walk in Old Louisville. Seemed to be out hunting squirrels or chihuahuas and paid me no mind. There's no releases with this shot so feel free to use it!
