Beautiful Blue Skies

I was being watched carefully today while hiking around the lake. This broad-winged hawk (Buteo platypterus) made the spring sky even more inviting. These birds are returning from wintering in Central and South America; a 4,000 mile trip on which they have been shown to travel an average of 69 miles per day.
