Let's just say that the local chipmunk population has severely declined in the last few years...

Our seasonal resident is back
Here's a photo I took on Sunday of a red-winged hawk in our yard. Each year, in early- to mid-March, at least one of these guys shows up and nests in the tall trees in the front of our property. This one isn't nearly as big as the one we saw last year. We learned from the Audobon Society that they return to the same area each year, and that they have several nests - one for their young, one for eating, etc.

I'm enjoying your blog and your perspective from across the road. Have you had any visits from our more underground friends? Or perhaps these chipmunks just can't get across the asphalt!
Been hearing the beginning squeaks here.
See you at the bust stop. - Cyndy
Our hawks are back also. They have been lurking around our feeders and occasionally feasting on the slower birds.
