I was driving in my neighborhood recently when I saw one taking off. I see them wheeling around in the air all of the time, but something about seeing one closer to the ground and not just soaring was different. I had never really realized just how elegant they are as flyers. When soaring, they’re often making minute changes to basically hover, but when the one was taking off, he was really flapping and it was somehow really elegant. I dunno how to describe it. But I have a renewed appreciation for them now.
