The hawk.
Blogging about that heron -- not a crane, I'm told, but a great blue heron -- I glanced up from my computer and saw a hawk in the oak tree. I couldn't get a good shot of it, but then I looked up again and saw it sitting on the railing of the deck:

Come on, Ann. We're dying for another podcast out here.
Looks like it’s time for an offering to the hawk god.
Might I suggest this tasty treat?
After all, it is "hawker fare (street food)."
Where's an albino squirrel when you need one?
Re: Hawk. By any chance do your nail polished toes look like bloody worms?
blur is cool
On Location with Ann Althouse. This blog is getting a bit like Rick Lee's place.
Thanks for the mention Davos. That gives me an excuse to link to my hawk shots from last year.
Southern Indiana is full of hawks, hawks circling over the highways, hawks everywhere. One of the things about Pennsylvania now that we've moved here is that you never see hawks. I'm not at all sure why.
Is this a symbol of some future conflict with Iowa? Perhaps their department chair will be offered you...
That bird is too small for a red tailed hawk. I had one visting my yard and that breed is very large. It might be a peregrine hawk, which is a small variety.
I'm not sure if you can tell the scale of the bird from the picture, but someone told me they thought it was a juvenile red-tailed hawk.
Juvenile? Hardly. Where's its little leather jacket? All the wild turkeys out here in South Shore MA have 'em.
The red tailed hawk visiting my birdfeeder was so large that its tail almost reached the ground. The feeder was located three feet above the ground. I was fascinated at its size.
By the way, if hawks are hanging around your birdfeeders, they are eating more than seeds. I realized that my birdfeeders provided a regular bird buffet for the hawk and its mate.
that second shot is wild!
