Kentucky Color: Nobody Home and More By Billy Joe Fudge I bet this old American beech (photo with article) has been a home or a hideout for hundreds, if not thousands, of squirrels, raccoons, possums and more, over the last hundred or so years! However, I knocked and no one answered the door. So I assume there was nobody home. On another note, after being on this old Earth and in the woods for over 70 years I was blessed to see something I had never seen before today. I was sashaying through the woods by myself, identifying and estimating the board footage in a timber stand when I heard a Redtail Hawk screeching like I had never before heard. Redtails will screech to startle their next meal into bolting for cover but this was different. It was loud with a lot of inflection. I looked up and saw a Redtail light in the top of a tree. However, the fevered screeching began to my right and another one came sailing through the tree tops and branches like a Ferrari on a Grand Prix race course! He, yes a "he", lit on the limb beside her, yes a "her", and proceeded to the act of mating. Redtails are monogamous. I wondered how long these two had been a couple and how many families they may have raised? A special moment. This story was posted on 2024-02-20 10:00:50
