On the York/Durham Town Line road just south of Concession Rd #3 there was a RT hawk perched in the trees counting blue cars. I don't think it saw that many. On the Concession road itself there were crows. There were lots of crows. Counting them was tedious and so I stopped counting when I hit 50. Counting them was murder. Get it?

Came across a Red-tailed hawk again in the same general area. It is quite likely the same hawk that I've seen before, several times. We encounter one another often enough that I need to come up with a name, although I'm not sure if this hawk is a male, or a female. I know, ... I call it Ethan ... Ethan hawk. This time Ethan came rushing across the road and landed on a guard rail. I slowed, then stopped. I noticed someone walking down from the adjacent farm with an urgency that suggested that he also saw Ethan. I gradually backed-up along the shoulder and Ethan flew into
a tree ... predictable really, the guard rail was a poor choice. I took a few shots in the dim light.
