From work to FP visitor center. Another shorts day. 47F, cloudy. Was anticipating a wet run, but no rain.
As I got to the VC, a huge female red tail flew just in front of me across the path in into the tree just outside the VC back door. Very cool. Then I spotted another hawk across the way, near the History Museum parking area so ran over to take a look at that one. Thought it was the mate to the other bird. Went back to the VC to use the facilities and chatted with one of the people at the desk. She said they'd seen a bunch of hawks this morning. The red tail had killed and eaten a rabbit right next to the building.
Went back out and watched the red tail in the tree for a bit. it was about 20 feet up.

After watching the big female red tail, decided to try and find the other one again. Wandered over towards the Hist Museum. Didn't see anything in the trees, but saw what looked like a big bird sitting in a pool of water (in the depressed area where SLOC starts a lot of o-meets). I got to within 30 feet and sure enough, a hawk was sitting in the water! AND, there was a second hawk standing on the berm watching the bird in the water. I stopped at about 15 feet away and watched.... Dry bird entered the water and waded over to the other bird where they both proceeded to splash and clean themselves.
I think they were Coopers Hawks. Ran back to VC for a quick look at the raptor guide. Not a great pic, but I'm pretty sure thats what they were.
Went back out and both birds had moved into the tree, one about 8 feet off the ground, the other about 15 feet. Stood about 10 feet from the lower one and we had a staring contest.....
Wish I had my camera.
Breeze picked up towards the end of the run and was a bit cold.

Didn't feel as cold as Accuweather was reporting. 31F, mostly sunny. 9mph breeze from the east was noticeable.
Went about 1.5 miles further than I'd planned. Faulty memory for route choice.
Slightly elevated HR. From being sick?
