Red-tailed Hawk at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

Fantastic walking conditions got me out for an afternoon stroll but, apparently, was not to the liking of practically all of my bird buddies. There were just a few Mallards cooling off on the Arkansas River and only one Red-tailed Hawk (pictured) who was perched on top of a juniper bush which was located on top of the North wall of Rock Canyon. Not much was going to escape its steely gaze. In order to demonstrate Autumn’s progress I am featuring a “scenic” shot of the changing leaves today contrasted with a couple of November shots below and at post bottom. Winter is coming.
