I’ve been putting seed out for the birdies and a whole flock of sparrows was chowing down when I noticed something swoop down that was noticeably larger. Damn, if it wasn’t a big ol’ hawk come to see what the noise was about.
Alas, he didn’t stay long enough for me to snap a photo — he/she was less than 10 feet from this keyboard
And now a jay has arrived. Much smaller, but even more of a bully than the hawk.
