Red Roosters – January 7th, 2013

Bobby roosting the evening of January 7th, 2013

Sunday, January 6th: As other Hawk-watchers let me know, Bobby and Rosie roosted in their regular respective roosts as of late. Rosie overnighted at the Red Roost Inn and Bobby at his window tree.Rosie’s right eye was already cleared up which was a relief to hear!

Monday, January 7th: I stopped by the roosts after work tonight. It was so dark at the Inn, I could not get a good shot of Rosie at her roost. But she was most definitely there. I then went to Bobby’s regular roost and he was there too!
