It has been almost a year since our winter ’08 vacation. We still look through the vacation photos from time to time. Usually, we find one that we want to share here.
This red tail hawk flew across the road right in front of the camper as we were driving toward the Grand Canyon. It took me by surprise, but I had the camera up already and managed to snap this shot as the hawk climbed to gain altitude.
If you click on the thumbnail above you can see the greater context of the shot. Yes that is snow on the ground. I don’t know what hawks hunt in the snow, but they obviously thrive in that environment.
