last week my mom and i were driving to work and this huge red tailed hawk flew down in front of us and almost hit the suv before us. then it caught itself mid-flight and started pulling up while my mom slowed down to give it space. for what seemed like an eternity, the hawk was flying the same speed as our car about 2 inches from our windshield before it finally gained enough height to get back up above the car and into the trees. it was amazing to see it flying there with us so close. then today on my way home from bringing kim to work i passed by 5 or 6 GIANT wild turkeys. i was scared they were going to cross out onto the highway, but i dont think they did. plus on top of that, there's been tons of crows and other hawks, among lots of little birds everywhere. i think it's finally getting close to spring. i can feel it in my feathers. ;)
