Red...

...tailed hawk has been working hard along the tree line finding and eating all sorts of small animals.  I took this picture recently of the hawk as it circled above me on the Bike Path.  Short of the great American Eagle I think that the hawk is one of the most wonderful birds on this planet.  I am always amazed at how they will fly so very high and be able to see a small mouse in the grass.  I am sure that the hawk is also watching me but not for food but for the game I might stir up. Lunch.  What a wonderful place to be this fall.
