My friend here in Pacifica. I see her often, but she surprised me on this sunny day by landing in the bush directly behind my spot on the cliff. When she took off straight at me, with lunch in her talons, I nearly toppled off the cliff.

Hi Amber,
Now those are some pretty cool action photos. Glad that you didn’t take a tumble. :)

Thank you Ray
Amazing photos, Amber. Well done for getting them (though it sounds like you didn’t have much choice!) ;)
ha, true. Thank you Val :)
Wow! Pretty amazing!
Thank you Anne :)
Oh, how cool that you got to see that and how cool that you were able to get a shot of it, too!! And, thank goodness you didn’t tumble off the cliff, either :)
Yeah, Thank goodness! Thanks Tina
Whoah,those hawk photos are bonkers!We have them around here,but they’re not that bold! Tumbling off a cliff,I don’t even want to think of that outcome. Be careful,Amber,there be beasts out your way!
Haha, thanks mobemba :) There are always so many people on this trail that I think this hawk is used to people.
Beautiful picture :-)
Thank you!
Very unusual to see a hawk flying right at you. You stood your ground and we’re glad you did. Great pics!
Thanks B!
Maybe she wanted to invite you for having a bite… Mmmm, mouse!

Wow, those are some amazing photos, lady! What a great experience!
