We enjoyed the fall leaves about as much as the birds this morning. Watch the slide show to get a look at the great foliage (and birds).

Bird of the Day
October 12, 2013 Saturday Bird Walk

Red-Tailed Hawk
�Steve Frye
Red-Tailed Hawk
  For an unprecedented second week in a row, the red-tailed hawk has taken the Bird of the Day honors. While we were watching one the famous Twin Lakes Owls, a red tail came cruising along the path below tree level and right over our heads. A short time later, another red-tail came through the woods screaming! These birds eventually met up and flew together (see slide show).
