Red Tailed Hawk in Red Oaks Mill
Posted by Ed in Photography & Images, Recumbent Bicycling, Science on 2016-07-17
We often see Red Tailed Hawks circling high above the area, but this one came closer than most (clicky for more dots):

Surely you can see it, just to the left of the speed limit sign? It took us by surprise, too!
Near the middle of the road:

Perhaps it’s taking a break to enjoy just flying around? That’s about what we were doing; it was a fine morning for that sort of thing.
Squinting at a few more frames, it’s flying at 18 mph with 4 wingbeats per second. Not in a hurry, that’s for sure, and still traveling faster than we were.
We spotted a few Gas Hawks above the airport, too, but they stayed too far away for pictures…
