Yesterday morning, a feathered visitor took up residence on a branch of the red maple tree in our front yard.
He's obviously a hawk, but even though we pored over every bird book we've got, we couldn't figure out what kind he is....we figure Coopers or pigeon. If we could have seen him from the front, we might have been able to tell.
He just sat there for about 2 hours, looking around, taking a shit, watching our neighbor shovel snow, taking another shit, looking in the window at us a few times....and then off he flew.
