Some Quick Pictures
Author: siggyI went into town and looked across the road by the bank of the river and the neighboring isle. Two hawks were in the air and alighting on the slivers of land. I really did not know what kind they were but they did not behave like the ubiquitous turkey hawk although they were about the same size. Their flight pattern was different. I hope to identify them in my hawk book.
“Sweetie” my golden retriever always likes having something in her mouth. She was outside gnawing on a large chunk of a branch. She brought it in the house and I put it outside. I did not want her to “mulch” it in making a big mess I would have to clean up.
I was coming home today and just to the right of me were, maybe, several hundred small blackbirds feeding on the ground separated from each other by several inches. Twice a year flocks of small blackbirds come through –the spring and fall. They must be migrating. These are a few quick “pictures”.
