January 8, 2020 - The Coves
I went for a walk at the Coves in the morning. It was very quiet. I didn't see too many birds. At one Cove, I noticed sparrows across the marsh area flying around. I was trying to identify the sparrows with my bins. They would fly, go down into the reeds so it was difficult to identify. I did see Song Sparrows and possible Tree Sparrows. I was looking to the left and put my bins down and right in front of me was a Red-tailed Hawk. I didn't even notice it. It was right there starring at me.....15 minutes has past as I was taking photos of it.
Then it flew to a tree just right of me...a little higher looking down at me. It was watching and listening for any movement below in the reeds. I decided to leave, the hawk still sitting in the tree looking around.
