Hawk sighting

This just in from Caretaker at the Lodge:
"I was walking up from Olean Street after fetching the paper when my eyes caught a big white swoop in front of and before me. The full sized hawk went about ten feet over my head and swooped up to land in a branch some 12-15 feet up in a tree. He had noted me as he went by and turned nonchalantly to watch me pass directly underneath him. It didn't phase him in the least. He did not have a strongly "red" tail. Once in the Lodge I watched him swoop low above the front lawn before landing in a tree over by the Cascades Trail to look for unsuspecting birds, mice, etc. It was pretty wild to have such a large bird moving by so close. After last night's skunk and looking out over the very green carpet of moss out front I cannot help but feel that nature is waking up to the fact that this is the vernal equinox and spring is here!"
