A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that some large hawk-like birds have begun to roost on a cell phone tower. I pass this tower in route to and from work but haven't been able to stop to take any pictures.
Today, Mallory and I drove out to the tower and braved the cold wind (it has been super windy today). There were lots of birds on the tower and circling around us. I took a few pictures but wasn't able to get as close as I would like since that cell phone tower was so very tall.
At one point, Mallory asked if I thought they knew we were looking at them. Judging by the amount of bird crap on my car, I would say yes.
I have no idea what specific kind of bird this was. I don't think it was a hawk since they tend to be loners. There were at least 50 birds on the tower and circling around. Maybe more. Perhaps a falcon?
This was as close and clear as I could get without my tripod and in the wind.
