This past week there’s been a red-tailed hawk sitting on the powerlines close to my house.  I haven’t been able to get a clear picture of him with my camera–he takes off as soon as I get into close enough range–but I have to admit I’ve been utterly fascinated by him.  Until this past week, I’d never seen one before.  I mentioned the hawk to Jen and she told me that, in totem speak, the hawk was supposed to be a messenger.  If that’s the case, all I can say is that I hope he’s bringing some good news.
