Red-shouldered Hawk
It was the coldest morning of this season so far - 24 degrees around 7 a.m., and only in the low 30s when I arrived at the trail. It was bright and sunny, and some of the birds waited a while for it to warm up a bit before venturing out. After two hours I had 23 species - not too bad for a cold December morning.
