Edge Hawks

A Mid-Morning rollabout yesterday...I was counting up Hawks perched on the far side edge, four or five, and then thought to check the near side...stretched up to look over and along the other side of the chain link, and Hawk was just a few feet away...a curious feature of the fence is that looking along its length it's opaque, so when everyone, walkers, joggers, cyclists....photog...approach, they just don't see Hawks perched on the edge, or Hawks us!, until right across in view, and that is such a brief span of time as one passes, that Hawks are unperturbed...unless Dogs come along too...then Hawks fly right up!...couldn't id small Hawk in flight...Kites at Kites' Perch....Buzz Bird on Pole took a bit to discern!...sunny warm blue...and today too, and too hot to walkabout San Joaquin Preserve, where I finally found the Duck House, and picked up schedule for Xmas Count walks...sat awhile...sighted Harrier in flight...White Pelicans about...
