Special day

It's a new year, another beginning. I wanted today's park trek to be good. Would paths be clear, safe? What was ice yesterday was slosh today, not exactly safe, but definitely negotiable even if messy.

The big bubble blower was creating his magic. It's endlessly fascinating and beautiful. People walked by without even noticing.

And there in the snow was the best..... lucky redtail. Poor squirrel. Didn't get to survive this new year. There's a lot of fur till you get to the meat. Fur yanked out and strewn all over the place.

This is just a teaser. I've got about 400 hawk-dining images and must cull that down to a few.

What a joy. Hawk had a meal. Birders got to gawk at hawk.

Bubble litter from last night's celebration.

Happy New Year!
