Lately I've been seeing quite a few Red Tailed Hawks out and about. It seems like I've seen one just about everyday for the past few weeks.
When I was younger my father would always point them out to me when he saw them. He would always make it a point to tell me to look at the tail which is of course a rusty shade of red. It was always special seeing one with him.
I can't help but wonder if there is a reason I've been seeing so many of these birds lately. It could just be the time of year or the area I have moved to (Coastal NC,) however I can't help but think I'm seeing them for a reason.
My wife (who knows a lot more about these things than I) has told me that the Native Americans believed that birds once communicated openly with people and still try from time to time. We have, unfortunately, lost the ability to understand them which I am sure is a frustrating for them. So what kind of sign could it be that I keep seeing these noble birds?
