2nd close encounter with this young Red-tailed today. Shot with my iPhone. Memorial in background is actually the husband of "Whistler's Mother" #birds #birding #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #redtailedhawk

Thinking positive thoughts for your recovery. And I feel your pain as I am currently trying one handed binocular birding.

Thank you for the encouraging words
