Bird activity

In the fresh deep snow, this sign of activity stood out. Looking closer I could see two sets of wing marks, big enough to be either a crow or a hawk. It looks like the the bird dove down, put out its wings to steady itself, then hopped a bit further and spread its wings again. No doubt a mouse or vole was making its way just under or over the snow. Probably under, as I didn't see any tracks. Perhaps it surfaced at this point and caught the attention of whatever bird made these marks.

When I was leaving, I saw the red-tailed hawk sitting on the red barn by the New Woods. First time I've seen it for awhile.
