Hawk and Fox


These creatures are in my back yard, along with many other bird and mammal species. There are red-shouldered hawks, one of which you see here, and foxes, one of which you see in the center. The snow is still on the ground and you can see the fox's "single file" tracks in the white. The hawks sometimes nest in a high tree trunk fork a short distance away, and I've seen them inspecting a place in their usual real estate area. This drawing was done from memory, but I see this view every day, and sometimes the wildlife too.
