Red Tailed Hawk

We have a family of red tailed hawks in our neighborhood.  

Sunday, I happened to notice Dad Hawk in one of the trees shading my backyard.  

Can you spot him?

The best I can do is say look on the broken off limb just to the left of center of the picture...








Once he scoped the yard out, he dropped down to the ground and hung out. I was mystified.    Then after about 5 minutes of that, he hopped up - literally - on the fence and stared at me for a few minutes.

Then he was gone.

    "Hawks piercing shriek tears through the air. In its shrill cry lies an important message which represents illumination. Hawk teaches us to scope out the situation and focus on our talents, trying to draw them out. Hawk learns to see the big picture in order to understand the past, present, and future. Hawk asks us to be observant of surroundings so we won't get distracted from our path by others. It also reminds us not to get caught up in minor annoyances so we can maintain our inner balance."
