			 Not a showy beauty, but they have the prettiest song. And, though they are shy, I once had a close encounter with one while hiking. It still stands out in my mind as one of those amazing life experiences

			 I see this sort of hawk nearly daily here. It's labeled as a red-tailed hawk but I know that it isn't. There are so many different species of hawk in NC! I'm amazed and frequently looking up when I should be driving lol

			 Flocks and flocks of wild geese have returned to the fields, nearby. I love how they talk to each other as they take flight to the skies.
