Excellent insight and it makes me realize that's the feeling I had too: unsafe. You're not the only one. Life is too complicated and beautiful to be one side or the other. Thank you for sharing, and that young hawk that feels safe was put in your path for this very reason. I appreciate your conservation work and your writing, Rebecca. Good on ya!💞✌️

What a fascinating post, about the hawk. I learned a lot, which I love to do. We have red-tailed hawks here in Tennessee. As for the political reflections, I suppose I feel much the same. After the election I was surrounded by devasted friends, but I felt a sense of calm resolve. I was not surprised by the election, and I was afraid of what would happen if things had gone the other way. What you say about local involvement is no doubt spot on, but I am ashamed to say I am decidedly not involved in local politics.
