This is not an extraordinary report.  I just simply wanted to share what a pleasure it was today to watch a Red-tailed Hawk  kiting in the wind over Southwestern Stark County today just a bit north of the Wilderness Center.  The bird held it’s position in the sky and appeared to be literally motionless for around a minute or so.  It was aerodynamic perfection.  It did not appear to be hunting, but rather was just wind surfing.  At the risk of a bit of personification, it seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was.  I wonder.

Happy birding,

Jon Cefus
