7. When I bought my land before I built my place

A red tallied hawk lived up in an old tall ponderosa pine on my property. She had a huge baby in a nest.

When we would hike the property, she would try to chase us out by swooping over our heads. When we started building- she left.

Usually have lots of ravens out here but they seemed to have moved on a month ago which is unusual.

Nice photo!!
