Bird Watching on a Sick Day

Nathan started with stomach issues yesterday afternoon- we thought it was caused by too much candy. Nope! He's been on the sofa almost all day but just wandered in to ask for something to eat- a good sign!

We took a respite from "couch rest" to sit outside for a while and look who came to visit.

I think he's a red-shouldered hawk (the Florida pale form).

He waited patiently for me to find my camera and posed beautifully. He was way up in the tree. While I'm THRILLED to have a working camera, I REALLY miss having a camera with an eye piece- I have a hard time focusing and holding it still trying to look at the screen.
