I took this photograph of this bird at Huntington Gardens. I believe it is a hawk, but I'm not sure. It was up so high in the tree, I could see him in the lens better than with my naked eye. I still wasn't sure entirely what I was shooting, I felt lucky to get a few good shots of him. I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
I love to paint animals, you may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden. Her eyes are gently shut and she seems very much at peace... I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in October. This is day 12.
This is a rough sketch.

it looks very majestic, could be a hawk, nice capture Lisa! And a pretty maiden today with her downcast eyes!
Wonderful hawk.
There is a freshness to your style
That hawk is gorgeous! What a beautiful photo! I love your maiden! Cute hair!
Love the hawk, well done for capturing him! Lovely sketch, too. Hugs, Valerie
I can´t help you with the ID either. But you got a good shot.
I live in the central part of Sweden and I have seen images from your part of the world. Not good. :)
Thank you most kindly Christine, Martin, Stacy, Valerie-Jael, and NatureFootstep! The drought is indeed problematic...
