Birds are out to get you, man.

The fog and the local wildlife conspired to scare the hell out of me this morning. A hawk burst out of the ditch right beside me as I drive through a wooded area. So close that I jumped and swerved. Pretty cool, once my heart rate got back to normal.

Date: 2016-03-11 04:22 pm (UTC)I did have a merlin in my back yard a few years ago during their migration season. That was very cool. Hadn't seen one before, haven't seen one since, but I keep my eyes peeled.
We also have bald eagles around. I saw one a couple weeks ago. And the ospreys will be back soon.
I love birds. :)

Date: 2016-03-11 04:27 pm (UTC)We also get eagles - I'm not quite as good at spotting them - and ospreys, and I had a merlin in my yard a few years ago. I'm a big fan of all raptors all the time.
