The sun came up on a gorgeous morning, here in the Nutmeg State, and my sister and I did find an entrance to the fabulous Fresh Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary, just across the Mill River from my folks’ new place. We saw many of the same characters I had seen yesterday, but the star of the show had to be this red-shouldered hawk basking in the sun’s warm glow. I see that they do get spotted in Milwaukee, from time to time, but I have yet to see one there, so I’m glad for a backup location.
With pictures of a Cooper’s hawk and a red-shouldered hawk already “in the can,” it didn’t take long for a red-tailed hawk to show up, as if to ask “what about me?”
Finally, with tufted titmice aplenty, I figured I should practice taking their picture so that when the opportunity comes for me to do so in Estabrook, I don’t flub my shot.
I see it is supposed to cloud up by tomorrow morning, but the wind should be very light, so I’m gonna go looking for some waterfowl. Wish me luck!
