Narrative:

Through other people I have learned that an FAA representative observed a takeoff/departure I made at cew and had felt that it was unsafe. I received an advisory from FSS and observed that there was no traffic in the area. I departed runway 35 at bob sikes airport from the second intersection. I rotated climbed to about 50 ft retracted the gear and flaps. Climbed an additional 50 ft and turned into a 45 degree bank to heading 060 degree still climbing at vx. Upon rolling out of the turn I observed a hawk about 50 yards ahead. I lowered the nose slightly and then abruptly to miss the bird. After passing the bird I resumed a climb attitude at vy. I don't feel the aircraft was operated dangerously at any point during this departure; however, due to the opinion of the FAA representative, I felt it necessary to file this report.
