| Hawk, Memorial Park, El Paso, Texas. August 2017. |
August 2017
I was on my way to the Tumblewords Project at the library in Memorial Park. Beau Jocque was playing to me.
Through the top of my windshield, a dark shape swooped down and across the road and up to a tree on the left side of the road. I pulled over. Got my camera out.
It was a very large hawk. It landed on an outer branch toward the tree top, and peered down into the greenery.

It hulked there. Like a member of local royalty who barged into the home of a subject, seeing what he might take for himself, because he could.
-- Or was that the story at all? The photo below suggests that .... maybe .... that was actually its home? I saw a small bird fly out from the tree, following the hawk. But in the photo above, I see an extended wing inside the branches and another bird flying away.

I snatched a bit of video, which I unfortunately ended before he made his move and was subsequently chased out of by one of the diminutive owners of that small home.
So the mystery remains.
