An update to this morning’s post on A Disturbance of the Peace.
Forget the Man-Made Traps.
Guess who’s visiting our backyard, on his perch, 10 feet above the bird feeders, waiting for his dinner. (45 minutes and counting)
Wow!
Thank you Eric Kanigan for the shots. Shots taken a few minutes ago from the 2nd floor.

Observation:
1. He’s not young.
2. Looks like he took a dive in water.
Can Eric please try and take a photo of the bird’s backside?

Just so I’m clear on the order. You want Eric to go up to him, ask him to turn around, so Eric can take a picture of his a**? Do I have this right?

His shoulders, back of the wing, and tail, only if he turns. Eric knows what I mean.

I’m hoping this is from the second floor of your abode, and not somewhere else. If your place, just WOW! Nature heard your distress call, so let life take its course, Wow!
