Suzanne you left out the part about: The brown stinky stuff in the road you just ran over is manure either from the dairy farm down the road or the neighbor's horses. Great fertilizer also but it IS messy when it's thrown from tractor tires or it falls off the truck during transport. Don't put the top down on your cute little car and don't call to complain about it either. Welcome to the country. For Eagle fans here's a link for you. Click on live Eagle cam and enjoy.

Hi Elly, Pretty good here. How are you? Hope all is well. Praveen

A balsam fir, i see, with needles 1 1/2 inches. Yah I see where your coming from Luc with the streaking on the chest, but it still is thin enough to say Coopers to me. Also the presence of those distinctive white tail "rim" also points to coopers hawk. The fact that she says it was easily as large as a crow clinches it in my mind that its a coopers hawk. But disagreement is good in catching mistakes so thanks. Nathan
