Rendezvous with a Red-tail


Almost daily I rendezvous with one or more local Red-tailed Hawks. I see them flying or soaring above a huge pasture where I take my dog Bridget to run.

Yesterday I watched two hawks flying opposite one another, gracefully drawing inward and outward again, weaving a twine of intimacy in the blue sky. You see I suspect this is a courting pair, preparing even now to build their nest and mate ... and if all goes well perhaps this summer I'll be enjoying the flights of their fledglings, following their parents to learn of the hunt.

Till next time . . . Keep birds in your heart!
