Tuesday

Had an 8 raptor day last Sunday:

Turkey Vulture
Osprey
Bald Eagle
Northern Harrier
Cooper’s Hawk
Swainson’s Hawk
Red-tailed Hawk
American Kestrel

…and a few days before that, we got two Ferruginous Hawks!

They’ve been getting some weather in Port Aransas. We’re told they’ve had a foot and a half of rain over the last week. A couple days ago they got over 11 inches of rain in one day! Lots of flooding there. It’s dry here in Colorado.

That kestrel picture I sent out yesterday… He was standing on the ground, prey in his talons. A grasshopper. Fearsome predator that kestrel.

Found a snake underneath our picnic table this morning.

Judy had to wrangle it. I have no idea what’s up with that. She just can’t walk away from a snake.
