I think I wrote in the spring about a robin that will not stop attacking its reflection in our windows! Well, our neighborhood has upgraded.
Circling our yard, and the neighbor’s yard is a mature red-tailed hawk. He’s been here for about 2 weeks. The funny thing is, I think he’s looking for something. He’s not screaching like you may hear in the park, but he’s squeeking. Check out our video below that my husband took.

Of course, my husband says, as per the new insurance commercial online -“I shoulda got a falcon!” – Anyone else see that commercial?
