Elm Tree Hawk

Slept in until noon, and not much time for the walk....but had an errand to do in the Village, and geared up with the mini digi and new camera....paddled out to Bobcat Meadow...turned to walk along the River at Chapel Bridge, and when I reached the Appletree and Cottonwoods and Zeke's Cedar and the L Snag--this to say about midway between Chapel Bridge and Sentinel Bridge on the River's North Side!--I saw Hawk, Cedar, fly off from the Cottonwoods straight across to the Elm Tree and perch....very cool to see the long flight....some quick pics, then set up the mini digi...Cedar farfar away...but kindofa neat clip....RainSnow falling...sprinkling....battery ran down, so picked up and at the Boardwalk past the Artist's Grove stood awhile and observed Cedar....canceled the errand!....Robin's about in the Hummocks...and Blue Birds too....Cedar made a short flight from one side of the Elm to the other, and all the Robins lifted up and found perches in the Oaks' top branches, where they sat very still!...Cedar moved again to one of the Young Elms, and I could see that with all the Oaks between for cover, I might get close enough for pic....and did!...but just three of same pose before Cedar took off and flew by back towards the Boardwalk...tried to follow and locate...but the Robins flying back down to the Hummocks were an indication Cedar flew far away...much fun to circle Bobcat Meadow sighting Cedar!...rainsnow warm, some wet snow on the trees after work....report of Hawk, Redshoulder adult, by El Cap cutoff...maybe Coop!
