This year we have had nesting red shouldered hawks in our front yard that
have fledged 2 young. We have watched the adults giving the now adult-sized
young birds small(but long!) snakes and watching them struggle to get them
down! And they do make a lot of noise.

Subject: [mou-net] Most Surprising Bird?
What is your most surprising bird of the (half) year?
Mine would have to be the (lifer) Chuck's-wills-widow that visited our
Kansas backyard the first week we moved here from central Minnesota; then
it, of course, hasn't dropped by audibly or visibly since.
(Unless, of course, it was the surfeit of shorebirds that graced Princeton
Sewage Ponds our last week or so in Princeton, adding new county birds not
seen in the previous nine years there. Nice to have godwits and avocets
dropping bye to say goodbye.)
