Resident Hawk

Today I want to share some photos of our "resident hawk". She first came to visit us about a month ago and has stopped by about once a week since then. I love it when she comes....she's so interesting and BEAUTIFUL to watch. She hangs out on a branch for maybe 10 minutes, has a look around, and then flies off. The protective Mom instinct in me does come out, however, and I worry about my permanent bird residents whenever she's around. Still trying to come up with a good name for her.....
