This young Swainson’s Hawk was caught in the downpour today just as we were having our lunch. Big bird…about 18″ long!
I told Cath he must have been a Hollywood Hawk, because he landed on the telephone pole down on the walking path and waited until I went to the basement, got my big camera, found the telephoto lens, circled around the house and took a dozen or so photos of him from all directions while he posed and tried to dry out his feathers.
Before lunch, we went to Bob Seeley’s funeral mass at St. Mary’s, came home and met with Craig the sprinkler guy for another hour. We seem to have a plan in place now and are also getting a couple of bonus spring showers.
This afternoon Cath had therapy, but Malcolm took me to the Retina doctors for my monthly Lucentis injection. I was out in record time, but although my reading of the eye chart showed some improvement, I still can’t read or make out faces with my right eye. The doc is hopeful that we will see results on the third injection next month. I sure hope he is right.
