Hawks in the mist

Went for a nice walk with Andy last night around the pond. We saw a HUGE owl! So cool! I had a great walk this morning. Lots of fog and a slight mist. The little rabbit I used to see near the gate (and felt sorry for because I thought she was lonely) now has a mate! Bunnies!

I was definitely seeing doubles this morning. Around the pond I saw the hawk that usually perches on top of the big yellow house in the morning. Except this time it was only about two feet away from me! I had to stop to take a better look -- this is as close as I've ever been to it. I watched it preen its feathers for a minute or so. As I went around the pond again I saw another hawk! Amazing. Not sure if they are mates or siblings. I'm going to check Buddy's bird book to find out what kind of hawk it is...

Here's a pic!
