A new traffic cop watches over intersection near Santa Rosa

We don't know if this hawk is waving for traffic to stop, but it seems right at home on top of a traffic signal Kyle Skimin passed by while taking his son to Santa Rosa Academy one recent morning.

Kyle is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.

"Menifee in Pictures" is a regular feature on Menifee 24/7. Readers are invited to contribute photos for publication.
