Friends, this is the last day at Hawk ridge for the educators and volunteers.  I have learned so much from them about the raptors that i can never thank them enough. I t has been a wonderful fall season. thanks everyone.  My one hawk that i have not seen up close is a rough legged hawk, but i saw this one on my way home on Monday, so maybe i will see one up close today.  This hawk was quite a good way and even with the telephoto he was probably too far for a great shot, but he is a symbol of the whole project and a target for today.  so onward and upward, til Tomorrow MJ
