Housebound for days, we took a break to see a movie in town. Spitting rain and blowing. Not many people out with the storm moving up from the big drama further south.
It’s migration season. On the way there, a young red tail hawk landed on the fence around a small patch of weedy rubble. Surrounded by traffic several football fields of asphalt parking lots, it paid me little mind. I stood about 8 feet away for several minutes watching as it watched the ground intently.
Maybe getting down out of the wind, but this is also where any four legged critter looking for cover would hide. Smart bird.
