I was vaguely aware of it, but I was't sure where to find it. Then I saw OS's post (http://www.democraticunderground.com/12081432) & was able to get here.

A Cooper's Hawk is making the rounds of our neighborhood. And the other night just before dusk, as we were walking our dogs, a Barred Owl swooped across the street, landed in a tree and took a good look at us (and vice versa).

When we can really clear out the junk and pay attention, our world is a magical place!
