I almost missed him,
sitting there on the low hanging branch
just inches from the ground.
What the...?
Is that an illusion?...
I don't recall that object
in my memory's eye.
Wait, an eagle?
No, too small, but wait...
A bird for sure.

Stalking.
The jays, chickadees, doves
even the squirrels
Have disappeared from the feeder.
Fetch the binoculars.
wait, don't go.
the red tailed hawk
soars off
without breakfast,
this time.
