Environment:Crappy We’ve just had a run of cold and just snowy enough weather to keep me home the last several days. I’ve been anxiously watching the local weather prognosticators and it looks like I may be able to get out to Lake Pueblo State Park tomorrow. It also looks like if I don’t make it tomorrow I will be back on the couch for a few more days since more snow is being forecast for Friday. So, to help loyal readers through this challenging period, I have reached back into my archive to December 2017 to post today’s featured image…

While I stood hoping s/he would coast my way I noticed that s/he was not alone up there. A smaller bird was vigorously harassing the hawk.
