Enjoyed a delightful encounter with an adult Red-tailed Hawk at Middlebrook 
Lake in Bristol Tennessee, Wednesday.  It flew to a perch on a fallen tree that 
was mostly under water.  It slowly walked down a limb until nearly all of its 
body was covered with water.  The big bird enjoyed a long, leisurely, splashing 
bath during a warm winter morning.  This aroused memories of a Northern Harrier 
bathing at the shoreline near Musick's Campground, a dozen years or so ago.

Let's go birding......
