Mom and I saw this awesome hawk this afternoon at Snake Bite Pond. I got some good shots of it, but the afternoon light was all weird and shadowy, like it does. The sky was that great October blue sky.

I think it’s a red-tailed hawk, even though the tail isn’t red. I was hoping it was a prairie falcon, but they’re more of a west coast/midwest bird.

Those claws are fierce, yo.

in other news: last week Mr. Fleegan and I actually saw a snake at Snake Bite Pond. It was very long and black. It was slithering across the path and when it saw us it zoomed across into the woods so fast!
