Sunday morning when I looked out the door
this is what I saw on my balcony.

It’s a redtail hawk.
They often perch on the railing.
Usually, as soon as they see me at the door they fly away.
But not this guy.

He stayed where he was and watched me watching him.It was quite a surprise to see that he didn’t take off when I got closer.He seemed to wonder
who I was and what I was doing. He even stayed around when Teddy and Jack walked up to the door.
It was like he was being entertained by me and the cats here at Patricia’s Place.Then I guess he got bored with us
and started looking around for something more interesting.
And off he went.

It was a wonderful gift
being visited and inspected
by that beautiful hawk.

I know these aren’t the best pictures but
I wanted to share my gift with you.
