Day 347 - a Year by the Sea
December 13, 2007 by OrientSee.
Snow is coming this afternoon, so I was out earlier in the morning. I saw six hawks all out looking for food. I wonder how aware they are of impending storms. The barometer hadn’t dropped yet so the air pressure couldn’t have been a clue. Not surprisingly, the smaller birds were making themselves scarce as all the predators were out in force. A Cooper’s Hawk was actually sitting up on the Osprey platform while at the other side of the flats a Red-tailed Hawk was looking down from a perch high up in a tree. If anything had moved but me, either bird was ready to stoop. The creek was filled up with ice and so the buffleheads were not in view. As I am writing this, the promised snow has arrived. Tomorrow the marsh will have a very different wardrobe.
Ciao!
