I guess our yard is the place to be this fall. Sitting here in my jammies, watching "Ellen", drinking my coffee, when a huge hawk flew in (everything looks so big when it's in the yard!). My first thought was an immature bald eagle, but then I realized eagles would not be hunting the sparrows in my grape vine. Probably a red-tailed hawk? It had a reddish tail with fine barring, white "V" on the scapulars, dark belly band, but the head was so light. I have pictures . . .
