Hawk in the Evening Sun

I was stepping outside to grab some firewood when a hawk sitting on my neighbor's chimney caught my attention. There he was taking in the last warmth of the day's sun. It was business as usual for him/her - looking around, presumably for vulnerable gophers or other delicasies. The golden light on his strong body and his majestic style inspired me to pull out the "big" camera. It isn't a fantastic photo but you get the idea of the beauty I saw before me.
