The Hawk I Could Not Identify
Author: siggyThere was a hawk I could not identify despite looking in three bird books. He was again spotted sitting on a wire kind of scrunched up dark brown over twelves inches tall. He was near a marsh again for the third time. Last week we spotted an immature bald eagle (no white head) and a red tailed hawk (identified by my wife) both flying high in the sky. Nearby the eagle there is an eagle nest high up the cliff which could only be seen when the trees had no leaves. This could be the third year it was there. We are still waiting for the first goldfinch to come to our thistle feeder. I don’t understand why they have not found it. I did put out fresh thistle. Maybe, they have not come because I did not clean the feeder. My faucet for outside was still turned off. My wife today saw her first crocuses going into town. Every day there will be more surprises. That is the wonder of spring.
