March 25 Visit to Gorman

Trail Amidst Burned Old Growth.

The first thing I noticed was selective burning in the prairie environment.

Ice On The Pond

All the ice on the pond was thin ice which had formed the previous night.

I have been watching for the pond to thaw because thawing is one step closer to migrating ducks which I like to photograph.  I think that I must be allert.

Ice On The Trail

We still have ice on the trail from last winter.  There are a few places where the sun is blocked from prolonged access to the trail.  I am pleased that I can now get around it on safe dry trail.

Red-tailed Hawk

Crows chasing a hawk has been an enigma to me for several years.  I know they do.  I don't know if it is always a Red-tailed or not.  I don't know why they do it.  The crows usually number four or more.  It is a community effort.  I wonder if the hawk tries to feed on carrion designated as belonging to the crows.  Does anyone know why?
