But just the other day the girls and I spotted this little bit of loveliness way back in one of our highest trees. I am thankful for a great zoom lens which enabled us to see it close up!
And so, this is the view from my back window ... not now at this exact moment - but pretty close! And I agree with Darcy ... these long winter days are starting to wear on me. I've stayed in my home more days than I've been out of it and I need me some warm sunshine!!
OH, and bonus points to anyone who can identify this beauty - it may look small but it was actually huge and you can see part of it hanging way down behind the branch. My father in law thought it was some kind of hawk ...

Wow, he's pretty! What a cool find outside your backyard.
If this is your bird, you have spotted a rare one!

But I wonder it's a lighter Red Tailed Hawk.
Its just a guess but I think it might be a juvenile Coopers hawk.
This is a good site for bird Ids.

How cool!!!
I might change my mind it could be a Red shouldered hawk.

Wow. That is huge! Is it an owl? I am not very nature bright for sure! We have tons and tons of snow too! I just long for summer sunshine for sure! So nice to visit and meet you today.
