A feather from a red tailed hawk. Found it along the road yesterday late afternoon, near the cairn (which can be seen in the right background). Near here the day before on my way to town a red tailed hawk tried to get airborne with a prairie dog in its talons, but had to release the carcass as i approached. The hawk looped around and landed, watching its meal and me. It stayed on the ground long enough for me to get out of the car and take a picture, but then flew a short distance south to the fence line and roosted on a post. Am not sure this feather is from that hawk, but it was near to where the hawk and prairie dog were the day before.
