What did you accomplish today?

Went to the groomer this morning. This guy was sitting on a light in the parking lot and watched my dog very closely as we went in, could almost hear his lips smaking lol. I'm not sure what type of bird it is, but it's a lot bigger than my blissfully unaware dog.

I'm going hunting for halloween costumes at the thrift store this afternoon. Hopefully it's not too picked over this late in the season.

Looks like it could be a Red Shouldered Hawk.
No danger to your dog unless you have one of these.

If your dog is smaller than that hawk keep a leash on it when it's outside. Oh yeah and stay with it, they are pretty ballsy things. So unless you are holding the end of the leash they are happy to 'eat in'
 
What did you do today that you're proud of? Something at work, home, school, personal achievement, etc...


Today I had gravel dropped off and I put in a new driveway. It was a lot of work but I got it done quicker than I thought I would.:)

Good to see you are enjoying the little ones - they will be "all grown up" (teenagers) and will know more than you shortly.

Welcome to RIU.

I was looking at the Ontario wildlife page and red tailed and cooper are most common hawks in this area. Looks very similar red tailed hawk.

We have these and Red Tails also. Cooper hawks will fly through trees and brush chasing birds they prey on. They like my bird feeder and will fly in low level to pick off a bird on the feeder. I saw a mom or dad one teaching the young ones how to hunt by dropping birds in flight for them to catch. That was cool to watch.

That would be cool to see. Normally all I get to see around here are pigeons.

I've got quail all over my ranch; every once in awhile I'll get lucky and see a redtail hit a quail in midflight. The impact is hard enough that the quail feathers explode like a WW2 fighter hit by AA
