A New Hawk Joins the Nest!
North Coast Roadtrip travelog #3
Leggett, CA - Sat, 27 Mar 2021. 10am.
When we stopped at a roadside convenience store outside tiny Leggett, CA, for snacks this morning we found something unexpected: a new hawk!
Yes, in this historic old house in the middle of nowhere, tucked between the touristy bigfoot paraphernalia, fresh baked cookies and brownies, and racks cheap fake jewelry, was a stuffed hawk of a model we haven't seen before.
It turns out this hawk is an updated pattern of a toy we already have. Both are made by Wild Republic. ...At least, we're presuming the new pattern has replaced the old, as it seems unlikely the manufacturer would make two different kinds of red-tailed hawk. Curiously this model doesn't come with the informative and slightly amusing back-story of the older one.
We still own the older pattern of Wild Republic's hawk. We bought several of them years ago. 😂 Here's the new hawk, which we named "Peg" (we bought her at the Peg House) socializing with "Winter" in the car as we get back on the road.
