BACKYARD VISITOR

Saturday, August 8, 2026

This afternoon I was lying on my bed reading and listening to the birds in the backyard when I suddenly heard all of them take off. One fled so quickly that it bounced off my window, hopefully without injuring itself.

Looked out the window and the reason why was clear:

To be clear, I've seen hawks checking out the back yard before... I would imagine the birds and squirrels gathered around the feeders are a tasty temptation. But this is the first time I've seen one perched on the fence.

DIDN'T BEAT THE RAIN, BUT I BEAT THE DOWNPOUR
