Your new neighbor is a Red tail hawk.

Good on the little guy.

Here in DFW at my small office building (10 story) we have a pair of hawks that took up residence last year. They hunt in the nearby empty lots and don’t have any enemies so their life is pretty easy. Each morning when I get to work I look for them and they are regularly perched somewhere atop the building.

It’s nice.

Keel!!! Pic!!!

Though you coulduh given him a steak knife to make it easier on him and some barbeque sauce.

I’ll bet he doesn’t have access to that and would be grateful.

Cept for his lack of a thumb... But heh. At least you would demonstrate you care.

hehehehehe.

You should have seen our group when a drunk tried to climb our back gate. The 4 pound Yorkshire terrier that was a white hot snarling ball of canine fury at the gate just trying to get the guy. Then there was the 70 pound German Shepherd who wad cringing by the back door barking at the yorkie saying what I am sure amounted to “Quick make the bad man go away!!!”

Good catch. That is a red-tailed hawk. Notice the diagnostic belly band and you can see the v-shaped scapulars.

Still a great neighbor.

Thanks for the ping, Beaversmom!
