I had an interesting encounter with a hawk at this place.
Earlier in the day I was taking pictures of some birds and a hawk attacked one. The bird ended up getting away, but it was wounded. Later on I went to the other side of the lake to this spot. Just after I took this picture I turned around and saw the hawk approaching. It was slowly flying towards me. It got so close that I could have gotten a good shot of it with my 18-55mm lens. It obviously recognized me and associated me with those birds. It was checking me out. It dived towards me and then aborted mission and turned back towards the lake. it was very surreal.
