Rain Hawk

Andy | Saturday, July 20, 2013 | Best Blogger Tips

Yesterday evening heavy rain and strong winds past through my area. The most interesting thing I spotted during the storm was this hawk sitting on the fence in my backyard. Take a close look at her claws and you will see what is left of a squirrel that was her catch of the day.

After demolishing the meal it's rest time. She is not one bit concerned of about the weather around her.

A little stretching exercise.

This was the last I saw of her before she took off.
