August 17, 2003 Mississippi River Levee TN/KY line Early Sunday morning, while the others had breakfast at Nancy's Blue Basin B& B at Reelfoot Lake, I snuck off and had an encounter with a stunning but injured Krider's, Red-tailed Hawk that sat for a few portraits. The bird had lost its hind talon on the right foot and that foot and leg were not fully functional. Hopefully it will survive? These are the rewards you get occasionally for the time and effort put out in the field. To see up close and personal shots of this Krider's, try this site and let me know what you think: http://hometown.aol.com/olcoot1/page1.html Good Birding!!! Jeff R.
