A Friday Visitor

I was working at the computer yesterday when I heard a very loud noise from the living room. It sounded like someone had thrown something very large at the large window in the living room. I got up and went into the living room to investigate. There were no holes in the window and no sight of any damage.

Every now and then a bird will fly into the window and it sounded like that only much, much louder. I went over to the window to take a peek and there standing on the ground beside the foundation of the house was a hawk.

He was absolutely beautiful. He was standing, looking a bit dazed (or was that my imagination). He must have been about a foot and half tall - a big bird.


I went to grab my camera, although I didn't expect him to be there when I returned, but he was. I was able to snap a couple of pictures before he fly away.


They are not the best photos, but I am glad that I have something to record the event.
