A Surprise
This is the same fence as the one with the meadowlark images I posted yesterday. I was drawn to the leading line and repeating pattern as well as the late afternoon light. I took three images. After loading them in Lightroom and adding keywords I pretty much just left them alone. I revisited the images a couple days later to determine if I wanted to keep them or not. Their color was off, looks like I may have had it set on AWB rather than daylight. In Lightroom I changed the white balance to daylight and liked it much better. However, I found a surprise I hadn’t seen before. At the top of the hill you will see a hawk perched on the fence post. I totally missed it when I took the image as I was focused on the fence and the meadowlarks. The photos of the fence was a last minute thing. Ya, just never know.

I think this is an example of how I often end up noticing them – usually just by luck and closer inspection. They blend in so well with their surroundings – something probably the meadowlarks don’t appreciate!

Glad to know it happens to the best photographers, also! They also pop up at the least expected times and places. If this had been a prairie dog town I would not have been as surprised.
The hawk was no doubt waiting for lunch.

Could be the reason the meadowlark launched in the previous post.
I love it when this happens—to me or anyone else. We think we are fully conscious of the scene in front of us only to discover that we missed a vital piece of the story. Or, do we? Is there a possibility that deep down we “see” more from the beginning? It is an interesting question to me.

That is an interesting question. So, will we see a post about it?
Now, that is just cool that you found the hawk after the fact! This also explains why there were no Meadowlarks on the fence at this time, either. LOL
Yes, they knew about the hawk and thus the liftoff.
