Isn't he beautiful?!? We have one that visits all year. Even though I hate that he's gettin' my birds...have to admire this fella. I guess we all creat a "food chain" when we feed anything outside!

Thanks for posting........Pam :wink:

That is amazing! How big are they? I know we have hawks up here, but I don't know what kind they are.

Hi Gloria

we see them off and on, so it wasn't a great surprise, but what was nice is that the grandkids were over and they saw it first.
