I knew it was around – the cries have been loud and distinctive. But now it’s started to land repeatedly and lounge around in the small trees right outside of my 1st floor office window.
It’s a gorgeous looking red-shouldered hawk. (The yellow tint comes from the coating on the outside of the windows.) From this viewpoint it was maybe twenty feet away.
It’s other spot is in this tree about thirty-five feet away, up in this spot where the main trunk splits. Here it’s about twenty feet in the air, high enough so it’s not bothered by folks walking by on the sidewalk below.
Beauty!
