Sequence of a Red-shouldered Hawk taking off from a Pine Tree when we were driving along Lighthouse Road in the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge on April 20, 2020. The day trip was a great reprieve from being quarantined during the closure. There were not many people and everyone was good about social distancing and being courteous to others.

      Thank you Cathy. I had to grab my hubby’s camera while he was driving and that was what I got. 😊

      Thank you. It’s so hot now that the only place we are going is to the beach. It certainly has its advantages. πŸ₯°
