Buteo Beauty
Juvenile Red-tailed hawk, Middle Farms
Young migrant, you return
Effortless you glide above within some lone raptor rapture
Broad wings, fanned tail on thermal uplift, circling and circling…
Perched and elevated awaiting early spring’s arrival along with your winged dance partner
Birds of prey within an aerial display of courtship
within some raptor rapture
