8-15-15 @River Park #American River



I was at River Park to check on the status of a Swainson's Hawk Chick to see if it had fledged.  While I was there, it appeared to be still in the branching stage and did not flap it's wings.  I got there around 6:15am so the sun was just rising and cast a reddish color on the nest tree and the hawk. 

I turned to the American River and was surprised to see a mist like fog over the river.  I had not seen this before and certainly did not expect this in August.    Then a graceful Heron flew through the fog and low to the water vocalizing as it went.  What a beautiful morning!!
