graceful gliders

Multiple images merged into one.

 

I've never really been fascinated by birds, leave alone something of nondescript coloring sinisterly hovering overhead, like something out of "Omen". However that was then. Ever since I've acquired my mechanical 3rd-eye, I've begun to "watch" birds casually (feels like "stalking", sometimes) - and for the common ones in my neighborhood, I am learning much simply by observing them endlessly

 

As for the Common Brown Hawk (CHEEL in Bengali), I find they are, by most counts, gentle and non-confrontational. And, instead of finding them ominous, I find them incredibly graceful as they soar the farthest, longest and swoop down with incredible speed and precision.

 

This is my 3rd upload on flickr where I have merged several shots of the bird's graceful gliding movements in one frame.
