Wintry


They swoop down  from the tops of trees
and we hear the alarm calls of smaller birds.
Sometimes they are successful
more often not.


Such a harsh season of the year

    Harsh but beautiful... And however sympathetic you are are to the prey animal, there's still something special about watching a raptor swoop down.

    Yellow legs so is it a kestral or a sparrow hawk?
    I was watching much the same today whilst at work.........outside our window......the snow thawing I guess brought him out to feast.

    i love that it's hard to hunt, eat; evens up the score, somehow, and you know, everybody eats somebody.
