Our chase tour group had enough time midday, north of Dalhart, to peruse the local wildlife and grasslands.\u00a0 On a stop near an ancient abandoned car, we viewed a hawk in a nearby dead tree.\u00a0 The hawk flew clumsily into the weeds adjacent to the road about 100 yards away.\u00a0 We walked over to it, and it just sat there and looked at us…and posed for pictures.\u00a0 We got to within about 8 feet with our long lenses pointed at it.\u00a0 The bird didn’t know what was going on.\u00a0 Our guide, Bob Smith, said it was likely a very young Swainson’s hawk.\u00a0 Later, I spotted a turtle crossing the road.\u00a0 Bob picked it up and I got in close with my wide-angle lens as it tried to scratch Bob to DEATH.\u00a0 Later in the day, Bob ran over the head of a turtle that was crossing the road.<\/p>\n
