It's B a a a a ck!

My red-shouldered hawk is back today proclaiming loudly and proudly.  As it flew directly over my house, the finches and cardinals at the feeder did not hide, hesitate, or look the least bit worried.  Maybe they know this gabby vehement flyer is not a threat since they eat frogs and snakes at the river's edge.  Today I noticed the ice went out on the Rum River.  Maybe there is a connection between the red shouldered hawk return and the ice going out.  In any case, welcome back red shouldered.  I think I shall name you Newt.
