Had a new visitor over the weekend –

He was none too impressed by us asking how many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop, so he promptly went back to his afternoon nap.

After the Jays had stopped yelling about his presence, the Coopers Hawk came around to discuss territorial rights and other such affairs of State. They agreed to disagree and flew off in opposite directions.

I think it’s a Barred Owl. Cool bird. BIG. Hope to see more of this one.
