I had gone outside that
day not really expecting the hawks to come. I had been working
on geraniums and looking over the terraces. I happened to look
up and lo and behold they were there---very near the patio and
the terraces and I ran into the house and got my Digital Rebel
XT cam with the telephoto lense and dashed outside. They were
there and stayed around a short time. Thus the below photos. I
hope you like them. It was a thrill to spend a moment with them
and photograph their beautiful flights.----BT, February 2, 2010.
The hawk, hanging in the air;
You know he owns it.
It is his lair, his home;
and no one elses, and he soars
Over it, forever searching,
hunting,
And exploring.
He is king of the air.
The Monarch glides!

The hawks were soaring together
on the balmy thermals--a beautiful sight to behold

Upon Seeing Hawks
The hawk pair soars
Far above the land.
I wish I could see what they see,
Above, their wings barely moving
As the thermal breezes cause them
To rise.
Far, far above they rise,
Until they can barely be seen.
We here on Earth can learn
Of their beauty and gracefulness.
If we see them, and look at them
And admire them. And love them.
The hawk pair soars
Far above the land.
I wish I could see what they see.
