Holy Hawk!


 A visit to downtown Charleston last week resulted in a memorable bird encounter. 

I had seen a story and a few photographs in the Post and Courier about how the repairs at Second Presbyterian Church on Meeting Street (a lightning fire had damaged the steeple) included a fancy new weather vane that had just been installed. 



I noticed right away something else was checking out the 24 karat gold leaf directional vane. 







This beautiful Red-tailed Hawk may have found a favorite new urban perch high atop the church. 





This made my day! And it was a great chance to try out the long range capabilities of my new Canon SX70 camera Alesia gave me for Christmas!
