HAPPY ACCIDENT

Sometimes, not getting what you want can be a stroke of luck. Catharine Macdonald was hoping to photograph some eagles when she was roaming around Antigonish County, N.S., but she came across this beautiful red-tailed hawk instead. She wrote: “Most trees on that day hadn’t turned yet, so the red-tailed hawk being in front of that red tree was a lucky find. The beauty stayed for longer than I expected before flying off.”
