October 7 - Later in the Day

Today was a bright brilliant October day. After this morning’s walk in the marsh, I had to go out again. So I got on my bike and rode out to Deer Island. The sea air and the views of Boston Harbor were magnificent. I got home and the construction guys up the street started yelling about a hawk. I looked up and perched on a telephone pole ten feet from my third floor windows was an immature RedTail Hawk. I ditched my bike in the cellar and raced upstairs. He was still there as you can see.

He was standing on one foot with the other tucked up under his breast.

The closest shot was through a dirty window. That’s why the speckles.

It was a gift.

Ciao!
