ACK! Good lord.

Right now, as I type, the feeding stations are abandoned.

That's probably because there's a raptor calmly perched about ten feet away from the window.

I am guessing it might be an immature redtail. He just turned around and has some "baby fluff" on his back that hasn't been shed yet.

(Hated to do it, but I went out and shooed him away; 'cause when I looked down, there was one tiny sparrow on the balcony, literally frozen with terror that the hawk might see her and decide she was breakfast. She managed to fly away shortly after he did.)

Slán,
