Seven Bends State Park
We were walking in the state park on Sunday and heard a large bird flapping its wings. I hoped it might be an eagle but could not tell.
It perched on a tall tree. Other birds seemed unafraid.
When it flew off, I could see it was probably a large hawk. The wing markings match those of a red tailed hawk. It disappeared fairly quickly, so I was glad to get a few pictures with my phone.
Meanwhile, people were enjoying the river.
Cant help with an ID for the bird, but the dog is clearly a 'Good Boy'! Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
