The hawk and the crow…

It snowed here a bunch overnight and into the morning, so the skiing was amazing today, but the snow was followed by a fierce wind, so the birds were even more scarce this afternoon than yesterday, if you can believe it.

Nevertheless, I headed out to take a look, and my reward was catching this crow trying to urge a red-tailed hawk to move along, but in this picture, you can see the hawk appearing to ask the crow, “you sure you wanna do this, Buddy?”

They flew behind some buildings before I got to see the crow’s answer, so I don’t know how it turned out, but it was an amazing sight to see for the moment I could see it.

Everyone else was taking shelter from the wind, however, so that’s all I’ve got for today, but we head back down the mountain tomorrow, so I have a hope of seeing more. Wish me luck, and I’ll keep you posted.
