Wordless Wednesdays: Hawk on Campus (Urban Wildlife Watch)

A rare chance to photograph a Hawk (a Red-tailed or Roadside Hawk, I think) in the city. Yes, predators like hawks and raptors live and some thrive in urban and suburban areas. I found this one perched in a tree on my campus – UM-St. Louis near the parking garage on North campus as I was headed to my car.

Views of the campus (its habitat) that the Hawk was surveying. It didn’t score anything while I watched it.
