no such thing as just a walk

Is that a hawk?
In that dead tree?
Yep.
Kind of small.
The tail is all over the place.
To steady itself in this wind, maybe.
When the sun shines through, the tail feathers look reddish.
Want to step off the path and go closer?
Yeah.

See those strong markings on the cheek?
Black and white?
Uh huh.
Are there kestrels around here?
I think so.

Isn't it beautiful?
Yes, very beautiful.
Hey, there it goes!
