more weekend bird blogging
Why did I go on a 25-mile bike ride with a 20 lb. bag of camera equipment strapped to my back? Because when I saw a flash of brown flying across the (100% mud) Forbidden Drive 30 yards ahead of me, I was prepared.
I pedaled through the muck to where I saw the bird and stopped to take a look around. I quickly spotted a Red-Tailed Hawk in a tree next to the trail. Although the bird turned out to be the most boring of raptors, (I was hoping for the owl I’ve spotted nearby) it was close enough for me to get some great shots with the big 300mm lens. The bird kept an eye on me, but didn’t mind my climbing up the embankment to get some photos without the sun directly behind it. I didn’t want to post all of these on the main page, but thought they deserved some exposure.
