Our friend, the falcon?

OK, please forgive if this is not falcon...it might be a hawk, I don't know. What I do know is that it has taken up residence in my back yard. As you might remember, Tristan has planted a vegetable garden {more on that in a minute}, so we turn on the sprinkler in the back yard twice a day; once in the morning and again before dinner. Our friend, the falcon {or hawk, or some other type of bird} has been present for his bath/shower/drink without fail for the last 3 days.


Patiently awaiting the spray from the sprinkler


He's actually getting pelted in the face with water in the picture


then he nearly walked onto our back porch

Now an update on the garden....

Squash, Watermelon & Lettuce

  1. Kyle has decreed that it is a hawk. We don't have falcons around here, according to him. And with the hawk in your back yard, you won't have to worry about small critters. Yeah!

  2. We were in fact told that it is a Cooper's Hawk. Thanks to Margie!
