It's absolutely beautiful!. The closest i've ever been to wildlife like that is a tie between when a mother and baby deer got scared so bad that they almost ended up on our deck, and last year at camp when we put out some old coconut for the animals and a chipmunk took it.
I had taken this video the summer before we saw the hawk. It's a turkey vulture. I had better chance to get a clearer picture but my phone didn't turn on fast enough XD
No, he wasn't. both videos are of the exact same hawk. He or she hung around for quite a while. And followed us from branch to branch along our walk. We walked along a street that took us around one side of a mountain and it followed us half way along that street.
