    Aww he's so cute! We get big owls coming through here in the evenings and it seems they will never sit still long enough for me to take their picture. I love it when the nature pays a visit.

    What a beautiful picture! It looks like he is sitting there waiting for you to take his picture.I just have a crazy squirrel....bless him...he keeps falling off the house. My ds thinks he can't judge distance and just misses when he tries to jump to the tree. I think he's knocked his brain loose...He will talk to you though. He jabbers at the dog, who in turn barks at him.

    He is really cool! I love hawks, we used to have them on the farm all the time. Now, living in the city, for years we didn't see any, but now we have one that is frequenting our neighborhood. We've seen him in the yard across the street going after the chipmunks!

    I love the hummingbird pics too! We tried a hummingbird feeder one year, but all we ended up with was bees, so I took it down!
