Marsh Hawk

A  L  O  H  A !
" I know a hawk 
from a handsaw.” 
                Shakespeare


Indeed!
That beauty is a 
Marsh Hawk,
also called a 
Northern Harrier
sunning on my fence.








" If that I could but clothe me 
in raiment like to thine, 
and strip my feet, and 
revel in the mud 
once, just once, with 
none to rebuke me 
or forbid, meseemeth 
I could forego 
the crown!"
                Twain










"I was always looking 
outside myself for 
strength and confidence 
but it comes from within. 
It was there all the time." 
                        Anna Freud








"If you see Mt. Fuji, 
a hawk, and
an eggplant on 
New Year's Day, 
you will be 
forever blessed."
            Japanese Proverb

I certainly 
felt lucky!

The last picture looks like a 'Hey, quit bothering me' picture.

Better hang a picture of Mt. Fuji in your house and buy eggplant for New Year's brunch! What a gorgeous bird!

Beautiful Hawk you have taken. It's feathers are colourful spread out.

What a thrill, Cloudia!

There are many harriers that live in the area near our house. I don't think I've ever seen any quite so close...or so beautiful. Wonderful shots!
