COVID/Pokemon Go
Said I’d do this back in March 2020 if/when I caught COVID.
Wrapping up another year with corvid.

Two hawks circling off in the distance
I saw two hawks circling off in the distance to the northeast, then they chased a few crows toward and past me. Sadly I couldn’t catch a picture as they passed above. But a few minutes later I saw these two hawks – probably the same ones – circling in the distance to the southwest. I’ve seen both Red-Tailed Hawks and Cooper’s Hawks in the area, but I think these look more like red-tailed hawks.
This squirrel kept pausing just long enough for me to aim the camera, then darting off

Mixed Seasons
Mixed Seasons. Just cold enough for *some* of the trees to drop their leaves, while others keep on drinking up the sunlight. #trees #autumn #NotWinter #afternoon #park

A very camera-shy #BlackPhoebe. This was the clearest view I managed to get.
