I&#8217;m laying low to avoid crowds, and generally staying close to home. It&#8217;s actually working out well, because I&#8217;m getting to know these places a little better. Even the smallest places are large enough to have several distinct areas, and I&#8217;ve been looking in the same places all the time. Now, I&#8217;m checking out some new area and finding birds. The ducks aren&#8217;t really here yet, so all is well. Quiet Waters is a large park, and there&#8217;s still more places to check out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=44443\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-44443\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44443\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=44443\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C1386&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1386\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;HUGH VANDERVOORT&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D7100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1608630267&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;HUGH VANDERVOORT&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;450&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Red Tailed Hawk 2020-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?fit=584%2C790&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44443\" title=\"Red Tailed Hawk 2020-1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?resize=584%2C790&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Red Tailed Hawk 2020-1\" width=\"584\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?resize=111%2C150&amp;ssl=1 111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1040&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-1.jpg?resize=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44442\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=44442\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-44442\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44442\" data-attachment-id=\"44442\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=44442\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Red-Tailed-Hawk-2020-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C837&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,837\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;HUGH VANDERVOORT&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D7100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1608630271&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;HUGH VANDERVOORT&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;450&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Red Tailed Hawk 2020-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;I heard this Red Tailed Hawk before I saw him.
