Finally

It's the time of year when nothing much is happening garden-wise. The seeds I ordered are starting to arrive, but I haven't planted any of them yet. So when I looked out the window this morning and saw this guy eating his peanut on the garden gate, I was thankful to finally have something worth taking a picture of.

Luckily, I looked out the window again a little later and discovered that someone else was enjoying the backyard.

If there's any doubt as to why she's here, notice how close she is to my bird feeders.

She certainly isn't admiring my asparagus bed.

But I admired her while she hung out.

This is definitely not the same hawk that enjoyed lunch in the backyard a few weeks ago. That one was a male and this one is either a female or a juvenile. It's a little disconcerting that two hawks have realized what a bird buffet I have in my backyard.
