Red Tailed Hawk

Still cold out, the thermometer says its around 10F, which is a lot warmer than it has been. Might get a dusting-2inches of snow tonight.

I finally got a good look at the hawk thats been flying around the neighborhood for the last month or so and its a Red Tailed Hawk. I feel bad for the hawk because whenever i see it its being dive bombed by crows. Hopefully ill get a chance to snap the hawks picture and post it.


Other birds i saw today at the feeders are the usual visitors:
- Male Cardinal
- chickadees
- 4 downy woodpeckers. 3 of which were taking turns at the suet feeder and then the 4th flew in just to chase the others around.
- a pair of juncos
- Red Bellied Woodpecker
- white breasted nuthatch
- American goldfinch
- robin

as for the non feathered friends
- grey squirrels
- our neighborhood black squirrel (grey squirrel variety, its mother was a white albino)
- red squirrels

Out in the yard the only tracks Ive seen were bunny and squirrel. The deer haven't been through the yard since the last snow and no sign of the foxes or the turkeys.
