A Reason Why We Haven't Much of a Snake or Rat Problem..
Pics the wife took today of a Red-Shouldered Hawk on our next door neighbor's roof and later, circling the back yard..
Ebels are a lot like women that lack a lowcut dress that zips up the side..neither gets the love that they deserve..

What a beautiful looking bird. Your wife could have a career as a wildlife photographer!

Excellent pics of a very striking Raptor.
We see Red Kites from the house most days and I know that if I walk 5 minutes from the house I am almost guaranteed to see Kites, Buzzards and a Kestrel or two, during an hour’s walk around the fields.

Superb pics and a magnificent bird.
Some people are nervous about raptors in built up areas because they think it's going to swipe their little poochy lap dog or pet rabbit. Not outside the realms of possibility but highly unlikely.
There's a family of buzzards living near the horse riding centre my son goes to and it's wonderful seeing them circling in formation. It looked like the parent teaching the two young birds.

Well, the wife has been at it again...
From a couple of days ago on one of our back yard bird baths, a Sharp Shinned Hawk.. And from about a month or so ago in our front yard..she(I think) still hangs around..
