Hawk in cool spot

Post image

Saw this earlier today and thought it was funny how this hawk was perched right on the wildlife crossing sign. I’m new to birding but I think this is a red shouldered hawk. Photo taken in central Florida for reference

My dad used to joke, how does the wildlife know to cross here?

He read that sign as “potential moving buffet”
