Episode Synopsis

This morning from Mount Douglas in Victoria, I’m sending greetings to Country File Magazine and wishing everyone a good weekend. The trail led me past a familiar tree, where I stopped to admire a hawk circling above. At first I thought it was a Cooper’s hawk, but the size and tail made me wonder if it could be a red-tail instead. The smaller birds nearby looked almost comically tiny in contrast, flitting about as if nothing was happening. I claimed the tree as “my spot,” and just as I said it, the hawk turned to face me—almost like he knew he was being photographed.
