A Red-Tailed Hawk
I haven't seen any "different" or unusual birds
around here for quite some time.
But today, I saw a lot of activity
at the top of a broken-off tree in the valley.
This Red-Tailed Hawk had apparently
made his "catch of the day".
After I went outside to get his picture,
he sat pretty still for quite a while.
I guess he was watching me too.
Of course, when I got tired of waiting
and picked up the camera to go inside,
he flew off carrying his prize.
It would have made a great picture.
I guess it is kind of like
the "big fish" that got away.
