In April 2025, many of us are joining the 30-Day Nature Observation Challenge. Each day, the goal is to share an observation—a plant, animal, or sound—experienced while spending time outdoors. Wise individuals have noted that observing nature enhances mindfulness, reduces stress, and deepens our appreciation for life’s interconnectedness—a challenge well worth accepting.

Today, my observation is on the RED-TAILED HAWK

As we embark on our 64th consecutive monthly challenge, Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I feel ready to inspire others to join us. Step outside and let nature awaken your senses—breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun, and listen as the world comes alive. Every moment outdoors is a chance to reset, recharge, and reconnect with the beauty around you.

Nature Observation 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. Commit to spending time outdoors for the next 30 days, observing a new plant, animal, or sound each day.

  1. Record your observations to track your journey.
  2. Share your findings with a challenge partner if you have one.
  3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge.

Observation #26-Red-Tailed Hawk

Over the past month I have been able to observe the Red-Tailed Hawk but have not been able to capture a good photo. To assist me with today’s challenge I am going back to a blog post I wrote on September 17, 2020

One fact most of us know is hawks have amazing eyesight. Not only can they see the colors that we can, but also colors in the ultraviolet range meaning they can see more colors than us. It is another example of the gifts nature provides each species.

Here is the video that was part of my 2020 post that helps us all learn a little more about the Red Tail
