We had
a visiting hawk on our property last week. I noticed the feeders were quiet around mid-day and looked up to see a dark shadow in a tree. Then it came down to the lower branches of a Douglas Fir tree and hid inside for a time. I thought that was odd but then the Mourning Doves spend a lot of their day in there. Soon it flew up to the top of a tree again and then left. The feeders remained very quiet for hours after except for a few Chickadees. I wondered if that meant they are a little dumb in the bird world. I can just hear them now..."after you...no, after you"Thankfully, there has been no hawk sightings the last few days. I decided to keep all the ground feed tucked under the trees instead of out in the open from now on. I'm pretty protective of our resident birds.

Today was a wet, windy and miserable day but I ended up having a great one.
I had an over-due visit and coffee with my lovely friend,
Susan. I was her cat-sitter for years (Lucky =^..^= & Addy =^..^=) and we were walking buddies before I moved and both miss our walks and talks. You can visit

Earth Day.

This property just may be a little piece of heaven some day. *smile*
