It was a dreary day, but I went out anyway. I went to Clinton, because it is so filled with wildlife. There was only one other car in the parking lot when I arrived. I didn't see another person for forty-five minutes. There really wasn't much going on. I can't remember when I've seen less wildlife in Clinton. I walked back to the car and loaded my camera and tripod into the back seat. Just then, I saw something in a tree over the trail, about 100 feet away. I tool out a smaller camera with a zoom lens, to see if it was a bird. Just as I looked through the viewfinder, it jumped to another branch. i got my camera and long lens back out, and started taking pictures. It was a beautiful hawk. I decided to walk across the bridge, over to the trail, to get a closer view. I had to walk right underneath the hawk and positioned myself to the south. It posed for me for a minute or two prior to flying off. At least I saw one wild thing today!
