Do you know why it visits my yard every day? I can't figure it out. So much noise this morning, the Hawk is screeching, and the Crows are trying to run it off. I just watched 3 Blue Jays smacking into it while it is perched, and it doesn't even flinch! I can't find any nests nearby. I did watch him attack a snake in my front yard a couple weeks ago, though but it got away because it was so big, and I haven't seen it since. Do they have a memory this long for prey? Seems like he would have moved on by now. He's in a tree in my backyard right now just staring. BEAUTIFUL bird and nearly camouflaged with the tree.

I am able to get fairly close to him now without him flying off.

These were taken in Massachusetts. All of them have a leg tag, so the state has done a great job brining the population back.

Ahhh that's better

The church just had all the stones masoned. Look at the size of the stones, there are no seams, the hole is through the granite- how???

My beak is sore
