I see you too…

This beautiful bird has been hanging out at my house the past few weeks. He’s super skiddish and I had to take this hiding thru my window. My cat’s always spot him first. I see them freeze while looking up, then I see him. He sweeps his head side to side to look at us. But if I move too fast to get my camera he spooks and flies away.

It took quite a lot of discussion with my birding friends to figure out what he is. He has been identified as a Red Tail Hawk.

He is gorgeous!

Who needs Siberia? I have Sequim!

Miss Bon Bon (my siberian) LOVES the snow. She doesn’t get to see it often here in Sequim. But it seems like every two years she get a week to exercise her full Siberian-ness. (I know my high school english teacher is rolling in her grave at my grammar…sorry Mrs. Persons.)

We had a VERY white Christmas here this year with 10 inches initially and about two more this week with temperatures in the teens–and THAT is very unusual.
