Air Show

This morning, while eating breakfast, we watched as a sharp-shinned hawk chased or was chased by a magpie, tearing through the trees and around the yard. Hard to believe that the magpie was being so cheeky, but the hawk is almost the same size. As they flew over the eaves and on north away from our yard, a stellar's jay cruised up, totally nonchalant, begging for peanuts.

Yesterday my husband saw a red-winged blackbird in one of the ponds at the golf course. We went back this morning for another look, but no blackbird, only 3 muskrats, also a wonderful sighting.
