On this, the last day of 2018, I decided to take a walk out to Stanford Dish and see if I could see some hawks. It was a beautiful, blue sky, crisp morning, but with a wicked chilly wind- around 40 degrees!
First, I took some photos of the beautiful oak trees that I love
Then after the oak trees, I saw a few hawks circling high overhead. It’s really hard to shoot these as they fly through the air. I got some nice light shining through their feathers. (Click below on each image to blow up.)
Then, as I was reaching the top of the hill, I saw something in a tree, quite a ways off (Can you spot it?)- it didn’t look like a branch, so I walked closer (and off trail a little shh…) and this hawk let me get right about 10 feet below it!
And here it is- some photos of the Hawk
