Title: Found the Barred Again
Post by: skyviewer on February 03, 2010, 12:39:50 AM

This time he was sitting in a tree right on the road.  Watched him for quite some time.  He flew from the tree to two fence posts.  At one point i thought he may have got something as he went to ground in the ditch.  After about an hour he flew from the fence post low across the road and through the trees.  I'm wondering if he saw a rabbit.  I unfortunately missed that flight shot.  When he flew across the road he was close to being hit as a pickup was coming down the road.  Unfortunately sometimes when they get there sights set on a meal i guess they forget about them big metal things hurtling down the road.  At one point i was almost thinking of scaring him away from the road cause i was worried that might happen.  Anyways he'll live another day and hopefully he got something in his belly.
