Camera-shy?
One of our resident birds seen several times now is this hawk which seems to like the vantage point of this stop sign at Carruthers Lane and East Park Drive. This photo was taken with my iPhone out of the sunroof of my car. This bird of prey didn’t seem to be too concerned about me taking his picture because he was looking behind him and would not turn around. Maybe he was camera-shy!
You should also keep your eye out for a pair of eagles in the golf course. We believe they are keeping a watchful eye on one of their young ones. Sometimes the 2 adults like to sit on the guard rail as you turn onto Carruthers Lane.
