Birds seen lately - 09/03/06 01:27 AM
This summer a family of sparrow hawks have taken up residence around our house. Though I've not seen the nest it must be close. This last week I've been seeing the young hunting with their parents. When they take mice and moles I'm thankful, not so much so when they take song birds.
Also in the field in front of our house there have been sand-hill cranes for the first time this summer. Until a couple of years ago we never saw them except maybe passing by high over head, but lately as I tend to the bees I'm seeing them more and more. Tall redheaded birds with 6-7 foot wing spans. (Redhead? Hey they and I have something in common!)
