And for Jane & me, the Red-tailed Hawk that we saw as we were coming in
made a bookend appearance as we were going out.  It flew across the road
about 50 feet in front of us.

Fantastic day!

Jerry

Roger,
As we were eaving Burkes Garden today, I saw another
Rough-legged Hawk. It was jsut before we got back to
the store. It flew across the road from r to l. It was
very low overhead. As you were close behind us you may
have already recorded it. We really enjoyed the trip
tody.
