early bird

While I was getting dressed this morning, Eddie was raising a particular ruckus at the window.

"What do you see, baby? Is that bunny in the yard again?"

I walked to over to take a look.

"Holy shit!"

By now he's in a panic. We've been invaded by wild things. He's running up and down the stairs unable to decide which window to make the most noise at.

"Eddie, go to your room."

Only slightly confused, and in spite of all the excitement, he obeys. Bless him.

A red-tailed hawk.

She's got a robin. A lot of other birds are in the trees, making more noise.

.A beautiful bird. The view was much better than this picture through a dirty window.

The hawk finally left without finishing. I cleaned up the remains.

[Update: Actually, I'd only tossed the dead robin over the fence. The hawk returned a few minutes later and retrieved it.]
