No Bobcats today. The featured image is kind of a rare treat during Osprey Season. A Red-tailed Hawk in flight carrying some type of partially eaten prey. This bird was in kind of a hurry because it was being harassed by at least two Osprey. They all flew off into the woods and all I could hear was a great deal of discussion. I waited around a bit to see if the hawk would fly back my way but that did not happen. The Osprey, too, were showing up with fresh prey. Pictured here is an adult banking into the nest. At post bottom is another Great Horned Owl trying to wrap up its busy night.
