Up ahead in the distance we saw it sitting there, its silhouette against the gray skies, a hawk.
Closing in on it at sixty miles per hour we’d be there in seconds…
Camera out of bag, camera on, window down, here it comes, shoot…passing it in a flash.
“Its a little blurry, dad,” she says, checking the shot.
‘Just call that soft-focus,’ I laughed.
For some reason around here, you can walk all you want within wildlife sanctuaries searching for Red Tail Hawks and find none. Yet, drive down the major interstate and you have a better chance of seeing one perched in trees over looking the roads. Interesting!
Nice catch.
I was surprised she got anything it happened so fast. Came out kind of cool, blurry or not, it’s interesting I think. Thank you, I’ll pass that along to my daughter.
Yes! I don’t know how many times I’ve spotted them on the telephone wires, as I speed down Hwy 65 in Lincoln, California. Always there. Never on my nature walks!
Thats funny, Susie. California Hawks same as Pennsylvania Hawks, they stay away from us nature lovers! lol Thank you for your reply! Tony
