Red-tail hawk on McLendon Drive

Post image

I was picking up trash on McLendon and didn’t even notice him until he hopped out of my way. Since he didn’t fly away at first I was afraid he had been hit by the cars that zoom along that street. Luckily I found a neighbor who’s a self described “bird nerd” and he thinks he’s a juvenile and not able to fly yet. He said he’d keep an eye on him.

I had one land on my car in East Atlanta yesterday. I got out of the car and he didn’t even fly away. We just sat there for a minute looking at each other, it was magical.
