Hawk, Oak, Lifting Mist
A red-tailed hawk (center) surveys the grassland from the top of a valley oak. Mist lifts to reveal Skyline in the distance; Windy Hill is to the right of the hawk tree. The moist grassland prepares to greet the sunlight. Chaparral and scrub fill in, up to the near ridge. Fluffy clouds, the remains of the mist, drift overhead for now.
