Just as we reached the top of the hill where Stanford’s Big Dish radio telescope is located on our Saturday 6-mile jog, spouse Linda yelled. I, with my head down and puffing up the steep (for me) trail, had missed this very pretty brown-and-white hawk perched on a signpost immediately opposite the Dish.

Mr./Ms. Hawk didn’t seem to be too worried as I sidled up for a series of portraits: it wasn’t until a 3rd jogger approached that (s)he left the perch, briefly. After we cleared out, (s)he returned to the outlook..
