Raptor

Since summer has started, I've noticed an increase in the number of raptors around RPV. I came upstairs and found this Red-tailed Hawk munching on a snack on our upstairs patio, but as soon as I moved to grab my camera he took off and flew to a near by lamp post.  I've always been fascinated with raptors, thanks to my to the nearly six years of volunteering at the Lindsey Wildlife Museum in NorCal. They seem so regal and confident, but there is also something very calming and soothing about them. Maybe I should join the local Audubon Society?  We're supposed to go to Alaska next year and I really hope we can go on an eagle/bird watching trip.

On a side note, just came back from a crazy couple days in Tahoe for KT's wedding.  I left on Wednesday for Tahoe and D eventually met up with us on Friday night.  Didn't get in until late last night and I'm still in a daze about the whole weekend. We had a lot of fun and feel like I need a couple days just to recover! More updates soon!
