Today's bird sighting
Aug. 27th, 2009 09:42 pmAs I was going out this morning, a good-sized hawk passed me, flying only a few feet above the ground -- probably because it was weighed down by the pigeon clutched in its talons. It crossed the road and disappeared into a clump of trees on the farm on the other side. We get a lot of red-tailed hawks around here in the winter, but it's hardly winter yet; fall is just starting to taunt us with the prospect of cooler weather in a few more weeks, but it was over 100 degrees today.
