This afternoon as I was doing my Biology schoolwork, I saw some kind of bird of prey fly into our back yard. I couldn’t tell exactly what it was, but I knew this bird was something special you don’t see everyday. So I left my schoolwork to get my camera. (Yes, that’s “legal” with Mom as I need to photograph or draw 30 Tennessee native animals that I have seen for my Tennessee Natural History class.)
When I tried to take photos through our large screen door, my zoom didn’t reach far enough. So I went virtually under the tree that this bird was under and took some shots. Thankfully, I didn’t get hurt and he didn’t fly away. After getting a couple nice shots, I went inside. From the pictures I took, Grandma and I made a guess that the bird I saw was a Red-Shouldered Hawk. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I'm including one of my better shots.
Let’s see…what else happened today? This morning Grandpa and I worked on a story and Grandpa also played with Alison. We ate hot dogs and crackers for lunch. In the afternoon Alison went down for nap and Mom and Dad went out for a date together while Grandma and Grandpa stayed with me and Alison. Mom and Dad are still out now. Grandpa took a nap and I did my Biology…and that was when I saw the hawk.
Grandma also went out to the woods with me today.
More later,
