Nick- love the hawk shots. We had a couple in my neighborhood and never did get a shot of them. Had some great "branch" and "leaves" shots though.
onzedge- niiiiice purchase! You are going to have fun with that .
Here is a shot with a 50mm f1.8 hand held at around 9:30 at night... dont' know what settings because I can't find the original image!

No edits other than a crop.
