  Hello All,

The dark rough legged hawk was there in the same area this morning just
before eight in the morning, sitting on the thinnest of twigs on a birch
tree, back lit by the rising sun, the air was fogged by sea smoke from the
river and the trees were glisstened with hoar frost, a peaceful morning.
Except I suppose for the meadow moles, voles, and mice that were to become
breakfast!
