Jan. 25, 2007 - Pat saw our back-yard male CARDINAL 3 times today at or near the feeders. Also our RAT-KILLING large HAWK visited the yard again (seems regular now). It sits high in a coniferous tree and waits, as the species does when hunting. A few days ago when the rat was killed, we also occasionally saw a RED SQUIRREL, and now we donıt know if it is still alive or just elsewhere. From Patıs description, it sounds like almost certainly a RED-TAILED HAWK, immature/yearling, since the top of the tail is not red. Pat also said that of course today was fabulous for watching lots of activities at the feeders; Iıve been hoping for cold temperatures plus snow, in order to concentrate the BALD EAGLES at the feeding sites in mornings, but this cold makes it very difficult to do the observations for the EAGLE WATCHERS (first day of first weekend tomorrow); today the highest temperature in the Valley was about -13 C., I believe, plus a nasty wind!
