What’s Up? – We love that, don’t we?
We love that, don’t we?
Last Friday morning, the weather temperature was in the mid 40º F’s. It felt very much like real autumn. It was my fist time to wear a long sleeve shirt.
A couple of days ago I was eating lunch at the kitchen dinette when I saw through the glass door a gorgeous large Cooper’s Hawk sitting on the deck’s railing, outside. I showed it to Lucy and Tyler, eating lunch with me… then suddenly another hawk shows up for a few seconds ( I suspect it was the mate) soon after they both flew off.
All these happened so fast, I was elated, they were so beautiful! Too bad I wasn’t ready for shooting pictures, we continued our lunch in a happy mood.
All my birds look fine, they eat well, I see more Mourning Doves and Cowbirds at the feeders and of course, the regular local avians. I see more spider webs lately. I guess Halloween is around the corner. Lucy’s bought a huge bag of assorted candy enough to make one hundred kids climb the walls with so much sugar! But, we love all that, don’t we?

It’s suggested to relax and enjoy!
Populations appear to remain stable and not threatened to reach the threshold of inclusion as a threatened species, which requires a decline of more than 30% in ten years or three generations. It was once prized as a pet due to its bright color and distinctive song. In the United States, this species receives special legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which also banned their sale as cage birds. It is also protected by the Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds in Canada. It is illegal to take, kill, or possess northern cardinals, and violation of the law is punishable by a fine of up to US $15,000 and imprisonment of up to six months.
