Watch the birdie.....
So I'm getting ready for work this morning and hear the birds going absolutely nuts outside in the backyard. With the days getting longer they've been waking up earlier (and we have a bird feeder right outside the back door) but this was not the usual morning birdsong. Took a quick look outside, didn't see anything. Weather was nice so I stepped out onto the deck, birds still going nuts so I looked in that direction, up, into the neighbors huge oak tree and saw this:
She was having breakfast, something with grey feathers, probably the reason the other birds were going nuts :). Scrambled around inside to find the camera and got back to the door just as she was getting ready to fly off, had to take this through the glass of the door.
I had forgotten our birdfeeder was the occasional raptor buffet :).
