This is a blog about the birds that live in my backyard and surrounding areas. There might be an occasional flower or bug or other critter that creeps in.

Red Shouldered Hawk
This Red Shouldered Hawk was hanging out in my neighbors yard a few weeks back. I was able to get surprisingly close. There was another one nearby. I waited and watched to see if this was a courtship or a battle, but neither came about.
There are quite a few of these beauties in the area. I watched last summer as one swooped into the lake and grabbed a water moccasin. He dined on half and came back later to finish devouring his prey.
