Red-tailed Hawk On a Wire
Image by LI Refugee
The cry of a Red-tailed Hawk is used in just about every movie or TV show known to mankind to signify any sort of raptor cry, especially in desert settings and in situations of peril. This is despite the fact that Red-tailed Hawks do not live in deserts and do not present any peril to anything except small creatures. The hawk seen in this picture is a juvenile.
Retirement with No Problem 3 of 20

Photo 3 - Nice to meet you Sue and Vic, I knocked on the roof and was invited in for some soap which I declined because I was so hot from running along the towpath, but I had to have some of Sue’s homemade bread.

For about 3 years I have been a follower of the blog “Retirement with No Problem”
noproblem.org.uk/blog/ The internet diary of a couple Vic and Sue, who retired from the family business to live on a traveling narrow boat “No Problem”, they move each day along the canals of England. Sue originally began the blog so that the family back home in Portsmouth would be able to follow them and now its well read by other boaters because it keeps up to date with anything from the location for the best fuel prices, signs of damage to the canal or near by facilities and a detailed review of the visited pubs food and drink.
Reading the blog I found that they are travelling through the Birmingham area over the weekend, I wanted to find them and introduce myself but I knew it would be almost impossible because they move so quick and they could be anywhere on the city canal system, in fact I tried to find them last year without success. Last week Sue blogged that they are going through the 21 locks at Wolverhampton and I then knew I could find them along that stretch because it takes a few hours to navigate through a small area.
