Backyard Visitor

This afternoon we had a special backyard visitor....a redtail hawk. I first spotted him on the other side of the fence on the ground eating a tasty morsel of something. He then flew up onto the fence and then moved over to Madison's playground fort to scan the yard for more snacks. Yesterday, Madison and I saw a demonstration at the library from the Raptor Center. The guy had a kestrel, redtail hawk, great horned owl, and a bald eagle, so Madison was able to see these birds up close then, and now see one in her backyard (she wasn't quite asleep for her nap yet so I went up and she looked down from her bedroom window).
