Thank you, Steve. Birdwatching is an excellent thing to do during social distancing. Here’s our current Wild View’s Assignment – Birds in Your Back Yard. We hope you share some of your hawk photos with us.

We have had a couple of Red-tailed Hawks nesting in our wooded backyard for the last three years. I am fascinated watching, photographing and filming their progression through their entire stay, seeing them raise their young, their fledging and ultimate departure. And we’ve watched the squirrel population diminish as the young fledges hone their hunting skills before leaving for greener pastures.

Thanks John! After 40 min or so exploring the cemetery during my first visit, I caught sight of this one perched on a young tree. I believe it is a local resident since it stayed close by and was very comfortable with my presence. Definitely an interesting place it has made its home in.

Katherine…lovely image of the Red Tail. I’m a raptor aficionado, so I enjoy all
Raptor shots. I’ve heard that Greenwood Cemetery has some interesting birds.
