Visitor this Morning
 

Noticed feathers falling from the trees as I was having first cup of coffee. Redtail hawk was almost directly overhead as I walked out on the deck to explore. He was having bluebird for breakfast. He hung out for about four hours before leaving.

Good God look at the talons. Keep the kids and the cats inside! Ah frig it, keep the kids inside. Cool pictures by the way.

Very nice. Luv birds of prey. Daughter and I always have a contest to see who can see the most along 495. We usually see at least 3 or 4 every time. I was once sitting on my front porch one summer morning and a hawk came down and just missed a rabbit eating clover I was watching. I also have a video of one sitting as close as you have tearing apart a mouse and then eating it as I watched. Very nice pictures. Lucky you had the camera handy. I think I saw a Bald Eagle the other day down by the Lake Assawompsett. So high up I couldn't tell without Binocs. Sometimes in winter and the lake is frozen they drag a deer carcass out there and you can watch them feed. Thanks for the pictures Ross

There's a bald eagle that often soars over the river behind Mike's shop, too.
