Saturday's Critters

Our Ottawa kids are coming over Saturday. Even Jordan is coming from Kingston. We haven't seen him since Christmas. He is a busy student. 

I do like the hawks. This is from last year. 

 It was screeching something in hawk-speak: 

I could hear this one yelling at someone. I have my days when I could yell! Merlin tells me this is a red-shouldered hawk, but I think our frequent flyers are the Broad-winged.

 




Here is Butch playing King of the Castle!

   

 There seems to be a young one in this pack. 
   

 They arrive at dusk, and when someone was doing his dish washing chores!

    We've had an owl hooty hooting around the house the last couple of weeks. We had yet to see it, until two nights ago it swooped by at dusk when we were in the hot tub, so cool to see!

    I know excitement will fill your home on Saturday. It's difficult when we are not able to see loved ones for months at time but I guess it just calls for extra hugs. Enjoy the weekend to the fullest. Happy Easter Jenn

    I don’t think we’ll be seeing our grands unless they pop in informally. They’re at the other house, and there is also work involved.

    They look pretty busy. Seems like a coon convention! Linda in Kansas

    I haven't seen a hawk up close for some time. I miss that!

    I am hearing hawks but have not had one land yet. We had a pair that nested beside our sugarhouse one year and there was a lot of noise as they tried to raise baby. With us there over the summer stocking the woodhouse.

    You could start a zoo with all your animals. I love the hawk vocalizing.

    I love the Hawks too, they have a loud call.
    Your raccoons look like they are fed well.
