Wednesday ride

I carefully timed my Wednesday bike ride to dodge another big thunderstorm, and happily it worked out just as planned. Still, I kept my eye on that big storm cell, as it passed by, just grazing a part of my route. 

I was delighted to see a Red-Tailed Hawk alight on the fence beside me as I was riding.

I managed to catch a few closeup hawk photos with the better zoom on my new phone. i liked this one of the wings spread while taking off, even though the hawk, y’know, was mostly out of the picture  

I also caught a fun shot of a Pelican with some Cormorants, as I was heading past the south end of Chatfield lake.
