Amateur wildlife photography

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

One of the things about being an empty nester is that you’ve got a lot more time than you used to. Consequently, I’ve done most of the things on my “to do” list.

Since the weather has been good, I’ve also been getting out for a 2-3 walk mile almost every day. A couple days ago, I saw a hawk in a tree at about eye level. I struggled to figure out how to quickly open the camera on my new iPhone. Also, I wasn’t wearing my glasses, so I couldn’t exactly see what was in the frame. Still, I ended up getting a pretty cool photo of a Red-tailed hawk with prey. Just after this photo, the hawk flew away with the meal dangling from its talon. I guess he/she wanted to eat elsewhere, unobserved.

Sorry, I realize this post has almost nothing to do with the writing prompt.
