So, since we are talking about birds lately, here is one of my favourites.

Ok, it's a terrible picture, but this red-tail hawk was sitting on top of my laundry pole about 30 meters away, and I had to take the picture through the door that leads to the rear deck. This is probably a yearling, since he is not wearing adult colours yet, but he was hungry as a teenager can be. He cleaned up the entire rodent population of Lunenburg County.

We named him Howard. You know that creepy scream you hear in the background sound of every outdoor scene in every motion picture that was ever made? That's Howard. If he had an agent he wouldn't have to eat mice.

This handsome goldfinch visited last Spring. He posed for his portrait just outside my big picture window.

This year, as much as we might miss this little fellow, we are planning to sell our house and move on. I have updated our listing on PropertyGuys and invite you to take a look...and perhaps pass on the link to your friends.   PropertyGuys
