Red tailed hawk and small bird @r_rybickey (at Santa Cruz somewherea)

This owl is a friend that lives in La Verne. I can find him at sunset on the same tree around sunset. I can hoot and he'll screech back. I tell him that the break in my heart is healing, I'm in good health and good spirits. Then I just sit and listen to the owl and the trees complimented by the breeze. Then I finish my hike and life goes on! (at Marshall Canyon Regional Park)
