E.S.P. (Especially Silly Person)

Ever had one of those moments when you just know something is going to happen and then it does? I have. Quite often, actually.

Well, this morning I was standing by the kitchen window washing some dishes at the sink. As I glanced out the window at all the little birds, I began thinking about Hawks and how much I'd like to see one so I could get a good picture of it. The thought popped into my head that I would see one today.

Guess what?

Mature Red-shouldered Hawk


(Still not the best picture...but it's getting better.)

I put left-overs out for the crows. This Hawk took off after one of the crows and chased it into the trees. A few seconds later it came back out to the edge of the tree line and sat for a while. I watched it for a few minutes through the binoculars and debated whether or not to go get my camera. I was afraid it would be gone when I returned.

What a beauty!

He came back an hour later. Here's a view from the back!
