I was headed for a spot just five minutes' drive away, but it ended up taking me 45 minutes to get there because I spotted this Red-shouldered Hawk along the way! I think they're not particularly rare, although they're uncommon this far north in winter, and we just don't get to see them very often, much less right in my own neighbourhood! I wasn't able to get very close due to the terrain and lack of cover, but I wanted to share my sighting with my family and friends. It was exciting!
