Bird Watching

The other afternoon, I was getting ready to go out and noticed an amazing bird outside the front window. It was sitting on a branch on one of the front trees. We looked it up online and found out that it is a Red Shouldered Hawk. The best is watching it fly with it's larger than 40 inch wing span. It is so fun to see such great pieces of nature out our door. We are hoping that it makes a meal out of one the gophers that are living in our yard. (I had to find a pic online since my camera was broken).
