Hawk on the Trail

Winter has improved somewhat in the Old Pueblo.  We've been hiking a lot when it's windy. The desert remains really lush.  The hill sides are yellow from the blooming jojoba bushes.

Yesterday we rode up the Santa Cruz trail and back via Mountain.  It was very pleasant, not too hot, not too cold, and fairly calm.  We saw this guy on the Santa Cruz.  There were two hawks, they were in the process of eating a pigeon they had killed.  Isn't he pretty?

After posing briefly, he flew away.

Other than a picture of the hawk, that's all I have to report maties.
