I hope my friend here wasn’t too disgruntled with me for interrupting her tasty meal. I spotted this beautiful Redtail Hawk (pretty sure she’s a redtail) dining on the side of Mills Road at about 6pm yesterday evening.
I love her fluffy white pants!
She tolerated a few minutes of camera flashing and Kirtan chanting coming from the car stereo, before taking her meal to a more private dining location in a tree across the road.
What a site! I never thought I’d be so into the birds. There’s something about me and the hawks these days. I see one pretty regularly, sitting on a lamp post near the freeway exit I take to work in the school district. I always take an extra deep breath upon spotting my morning friend.
I almost crashed my car earlier this summer eying a young Bald Eagle up by Sandusky Bay. She flew across the road pretty low, and then landed on a big power tower right about when I was supposed to be carefully navigating a big, curvy entrance ramp. Good thing it was early morning and the highway wasn’t busy – I was driving about 5mph on the ramp.
