He bites,

he’s hungry,

and he’s wild.

Spot probably got kicked out of the coyote pack which sometimes happens.

Loner’s like Spot have a tougher time hunting and surviving.

Don’t try to take his bone, he wouldn’t like that…..

But Spot looks quite healthy and curious!

The Red Tailed Hawks came closer too, curious about the brave coyote and the cautious human.

It is finally raining at The Holler even though we are still in the midst of the worst recorded drought in California history.

The rain isn’t nearly enough, but at least it will keep the hawks alive for awhile.

I am unable to adequately describe the hawks, I love them so.

Hawks are my friends here.

So glad we moved to this iffy place, one of Southern California’s last remaining wild spaces.

The Holler is built on a mountain with an empty valley below. Hawks often fly at our eye level or below, allowing us to look down on them as they soar. Normally hawks fly high, above us all.

I suspect we all need to live this way, wild and free, and above it all.
Cheers to you from the indescribably free Holler Hawks~
