More Wildlife at 1433 East Mountain

Ellen spotted this hawk hanging around our front yard for the last day or two.  He's sitting on a branch of our 80 year old pine tree, screeching about something, who knows what.  Jesus, Shut UP!

My web research leads me to guess that this is a red-tailed hawk, a common sight in Southern California.  They eat rodents (including squirrels!) but also insects, snakes and frogs.  They can live as long as twenty years.

Maybe I will tame this one and give it a name.  Then I can call it my friend and train it to help me exact revenge from my enemies.  You know who you are.
