A Red-Tailed Hawk in Medford!

Red-Tailed Hawk Atop Grace Church

Close Up

You can see the red tail

We got a great surprise returning from our run this morning: two large and puffy Red-Tailed Hawks perched on the pinnacle of Grace Church next to our apartment!

We made great use of our new binoculars and our new Massachusetts Bird Guide to confirm the species, although G called it first.

This was especially exciting for G, who flipped out and scared the last red-tailed hawk we saw by running towards it.

What a great reminder that that slowing down and observing the world around us can yield unexpected and wonderful surprises!-
