It had bright red wings. Are they territorial? Seems like I've seen hawks near the same place when I walked the dogs in the neighborhood, but the previous hawks I saw were much smaller and less colorful. The next time I go that way I'll take a different lens & maybe a different camera. But it may have been as low as it was because of Duffy, perhaps out of curiosity. So if it sees us again it may not be so curious.

It's difficult to tell from the photo. Hawks kettle, i.e., circle on thermals, and the word "kettle" may refer to the activity or to the collection of hawks circling.
