Yesterday we took Fred & Daisy to see the Rattlesnake Man outside Tombstone. It was a beautiful day and we were glad we went. We found out he is selling his business and moving on 5/1/13. It's going up for auction. Minimum offers start at $100. I don't know who will buy the place or what they might do with it. It'll be a shame if it disappears.
On our way back, I decided to drive to Pearce, a "ghost town" near the Dragoon mountains and Cochise's Stronghold. It was a ten mile drive on a dirt road through an old mining area. Along the way I suddenly saw a movement to my left. It was a hawk who had just snagged what appeared to be a rabbit for dinner. He flew around a group of shrubs and landed on the ground. When he tried to fly away, he lost the rabbit and landed in a tree. I watched for quite a long time but he made no attempt to retrieve dinner. I'm sure he did once we left.
Attached are two photos I took. It appears to my uneducated mind that it might be an immature as the markings are not as distinct as others I have seen. You can see some fur in the beak.
