I've known his hawk since 2019. She perched in a tree near the nest for a while after the male had flown in to relieve her.
Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King. Following emancipation, the dream of many ex-slaves led to the "exoduster" movement to Kansas and the dream of all black communities. One of those communities was Dunlap, Kansas. This is the Baptist Church which was the center of the community. Here is a link describing its history.http://www.legendsofkansas.com/dunlap.html
Today is Martin Luther King Day in the United States, an occasion to celebrate the life and achievements of the great civil rights leader. The photo shows the MLK Memorial in Washington, DC

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is located in West Potomac Park next to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., United States. It covers four acres (1.6 ha) and includes the Stone of Hope, a granite statue of Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. carved by sculptor Lei Yixin. The inspiration for the memorial design is a line from King's "I Have A Dream" speech: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." The memorial opened to the public on August 22, 2011.
Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968), an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the Civil Rights Movement, was an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, and advocated for using nonviolent resistance, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. Although during his life he was monitored by the FBI for presumed communist sympathies, King is now presented as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism.
At the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King imagined an end to racial inequality in his "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech has been canonized as one of the greatest pieces of American oratory.
