Just a simple juvenile Red-tailed Hawk this morning that I took last year on Antelope Island State Park as it flew past me with the dark Farmington complex rocks in the background.<\/p>\n

I have had quite a bit on my hands this past week so I have been slow to reply to comments, hopefully I will get caught up soon.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Wasylik; a young birder and budding bird photographer from the prairies of Alberta, interviewed me and published the interview on her blog “Prairie Birder<\/span><\/a>” yesterday and I wanted to share the interview with my viewers. You can see the full post here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good birding!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
