Christmas Visitor

I love watching birds. So while cooking Christmas morning I looked out the sliding door to see if any regular visitors had come to the recently filled feeders. It was then I noticed a hawk sitting on my fence! I catch sight of them in the air and occassionally in a tree (we are not country dwellers- we are suburbinites) What a wonderful surprise! The kiddos got to see the full facial view but just as I was getting ready to take another picture from inside the house, it flew away. Amazingly enough this is the second time we've had a hawk on the fence. This one stayed long enough this time to get a few pics.
