It has been a slow week for birding - migration has settled down and I've not had an opportunity to get out since the weekend. I did get an iota of birding in last night - at Fenway Park while the Red Sox were playing the Diamondbacks. Aside from the expected pigeons, mourning doves and herring gulls, we did have a nice flyover of one of the local Red-tail Hawks. This photo is not from last night, but from the press when a girl was bonked on the head by one of the nesting hawks back at the beginning of the season.
