Out of the corner of my eye a blurr swooped by my bedroom window, wings and feathers floating through the air. It was two birds, this red-tailed hawk and a flicker. The hawk was trying to land on the handicapped parking sign with prey in its talons. The next thing I knew the flicker was flying away, more feathers were drifting through the air and the hawk was now standing on the ground with a disgusted look. I stepped outside on the porch and watched as it hung around for several minutes then perched on the sign to gather itself together. I finally decided to go get my camera and was able to get a few images. It stayed around for over 30 minutes. Have a super day!
Side Note: A hawk is a symbol of freedom and flight. The meaning of seeing a hawk symbolizes a creative being. Encountering a hawk means you should let your creative spirit flow. It can be through music or poetry or other creative talents.

Thanks and hope you had a good Sunday! We had a lovely rain shower earlier and maybe and later tonight.

It would seem a spirit animal paid you a visit Monte, and may the rewards continue.

Thanks, Mark. Let’s hope so.

We recently had a hawk chasing a mourning dove and at least one of them crashed into our dining room window. The dove lost, the window survived. 🙂 The hawk retreated to the feeder post while he shook off the cobwebs, then came back over and retrieved his lunch. They are fascinating to watch, and often circle over our neighborhood looking for snacks.

I can be mesmerized by watching them. I’m surprised there are not more injuries or deaths from birds impacting windows and other objects.
