Out of the corner of my eye I saw this hawk fly into the woods. I noticed a bump on a branch thinking that might be the hawk and took a photo of it and it came out fairly nice. Can't blow the photo up more than this because it was a long way off. (maybe 150 yards)
The tail feathers match up and the dark around the edges of the wings match with a Swanson's hawk. I saw one of these birds flying over the lake nearby, so that is another indication that this would be a Swanson's Hawk.
The vastness of the woods behind the hawk would cause the hawk to be invisible from the distance I was at if I hadn't seen the bird fly into the woods. Being alert was the key for me that day to find this photograph.
In most endeavours of life, being alert to what you are doing is essential to success. Some things seem like they don't take much effort like going to church and being a Christian. But that is a mistake because, we may not realise there is a war going on around us.
Stay alert and keep vigilant in your efforts to live for Jesus. Learn to use the weapons and skills He has given you.
Father, I look to you for protection. Strengthen me to be a vigilant worker in Your kingdom.
