We went for a walk this afternoon to Mine Falls Park which is about five minutes from the apartment. It goes along the Nashua river and has miles of beautiful walks through the woods. All very pretty.
There is a word that is very overused in America - awesome. However we saw something whilst in the park that I think could actually truly described as awesome. Sitting on a log, not 6 feet from us, was an enormous hawk. Not being a ornithologist, I couldn't tell you what sort it was (having googled, it could have been a red tailed hawk) but it was something that did truly inspire awe. About five minutes later we saw its likely dinner, a chipmunk.
Certainly beats pigeons and grey squirrels on an afternoons walk.

What's this all about then? My bird's better than your bird. Cor, look at the plumage on that, eh? eh?
ReplyDeleteHowever, all being equal, I look forward to further instalments of your naturist(naturalist?) forays. You might care to pick up a copy of Audubon for further avian classification. An original may be found at Christie's for the paltry sum of $8,000,000.
