Day 346 - a Year by the Sea

I walked over to the marsh this morning. It was warmer but it was damp and spitting rain drops. I looked up and watched a Cooper’s Hawk try to take a pigeon. I was conflicted because the hawk was just feeding and swept down like a wraith. It was an exciting performance. The pigeon on the other hand flew like its life depended on every twisty turn and dive. The pigeon was amazing and it got away as the hawk would only spend so much time on this particular hunt. I also got my answer on what has been taking pigeons and leaving feather piles behind. A little later when I got to the overlook, the wind dramatically changed. I turned to the west and could see the horizon and the blue skies beyond. The weather is about to change again.

Ciao!
