Lakewood Forest Preserve hike

I hiked today with Patti and Dave in Lakewood, slogging through the slosh-fest leftovers from the snowmelt and rains. It was a beautiful 35 degree morning with bright sun and little wind. A couple dozen deer let themselves be seen, albeit briefly...



... as well as one buck...



... and a pair of Coopers hawks overhead searching for lunch down below...



... speaking of which we later enjoyed at Culver's. Now back to packing for the trip.

Nice shots of the wildlife...it is clearly NOT hunting season anymore. Good to see at least one hawk is still 'flyin high'.
