I gardened today. On my way outside, I saw this guy through the window chowing down on something. By the time I got to the yard, he was gone, but he had left a pile of feathers behind.

Anyone know what he is?

Looks like a hawk, Cate!

Thanks for identifying him. A hawk in my yard is pretty exciting! The best part of all: the baby bunnies back there are still alive and well. (I saw them hopping around again yesterday.)

In the immortal words of Foghorn Leghorn... YOU'RE A CHICKEN HAWK, SON!!! (Seriously, it might be time to visit the 'country' and come see your crazy ol' Aunt! Lots of hawks out this way!) Love you muchly!

Wow. It's been years since I saw a hawk that close. Well, if you don't count the ones I saw on the Rogue River last year. But a week floating down a wild river in't "real life". or is it?

Your little plants make me want to rush outside and dig in the dirt!

I don't think I've ever seen a hawk that close in the wild, even in the real wild, so I was pretty excited. Wildlife in the city is just such a cool thing! And please do dig in the dirt. It's so much fun, plus I don't want to be the only one who permanently has mud under her fingernails...
