![]() At least once a week I drive by the Boulder Reservoir to see if I can photograph something interesting. I've seen coyotes, Bald Eagles, kestrels, geese, prairie dogs, coots and even owls in the area surrounding the water. On this day I spotted a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk looking intently at a patch of grass across the road. I waited awhile and soon it dropped into the grass. After a few minutes of fiddling with something, I assumed it had caught a mouse or vole, it jumped up on a fence post. A piece of grass was caught in its throat! After some attempts at coughing it back up, it finally rid itself of the unwelcome appendage and then flew away. Moments like these remind me that you have to get out to see wildlife and while you may not see something special every time, eventually you will come across something fascinating.
