| Young Red-Tailed Hawk, Ocean Beach |
Excellent beach-bum weather today. Didn't even need a light jacket when I set out this morning, thanks in part to leaving the house an hour later than I did last week (even though I left at the same time, clockwise).
 |
| Fairly heavy surf this morning.... |
 |
| Besides the surf-fisherman, check out the lone surfer trying to paddle out. I don't know where the surfer originally got into the water, but he was drifting south at a pretty good clip while trying to get out past the breaking waves. |
 |
| No surfers, no spectators. That could change in the next day or two if the wind goes offshore and the swell keeps its size. |
 |
| The hawk is still on the One Way sign, but I couldn't resist putting Mt. Tam in the picture.... |
 |
| The hawk (likely the same one I photographed catching a mouse in this post) had to put up with several rambunctious ravens. |
 |
| The ravens chased the hawk from place to place. |
 |
| From one corner of the Beach Chalet to another. |
 |
| For the most part, the hawk didn't flinch as the ravens dove at him, but he might have been caught by surprise this time. |
 |
| The ravens eventually got bored and moved on. |
