The past 3 days this bird has been hanging out. First, we found him here on the fence post while we were playing on the back porch (with the screen doors open). Even Riley was out there, and he never noticed. Then, he was in a tree, watching the little birds at our birdfeeder. Today he was on a branch above the trampoline watching as the kids and their friends played. His wing span is LARGE and he has an eeriness about him. Like he's trying to decide whether these children are light enough for him to carry away, or it would be worth his while to swoop down and cause a fuss. We'll keep our distance, but we're sure glad we have the binoculars (click on the picture to enlarge). Can anyone guess for sure what type of bird it is?
