I hadn’t seen a hawk close enough to photograph since last winter. I was in luck, though, when I spied this beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk on a wire along M-113 west of Kingsley. It watched, relieved itself (seriously, I hadn’t expected this), spied me, scoured the area for prey, and finally took off.
That IS a beautiful hawk. Is it true that they poop right before take-off?
