Surprise Mail!

Some of you may have heard about our neighbors, a family of hawks that live just outside out kitchen window, part-way down the ravine in our backyard. Rich has a keen eye for these birds, but Kirsten had yet to see them ... until this afternoon. Out on our mailbox was perched what Rich believes is a small female hawk.


To give you a better perspective, our mailbox is oversized -- at least 12 inches tall. Beautiful wildlife, but a major reason why we can't let our silly cats outside and why some of the neighborhood strays go missing. A little while later the hawk took off up our driveway and in between the houses after what was likely dinner.
