Day 17.103: The new neighbors

As Exile #2 mentioned yesterday, there has been some excitement about the new hawk arrival - both among Exiles and the local wildlife (crows and small mammals both taking a particular interest).

The broad-winged hawk has been relatively generous with perching in photograph friendly locations.

Its apparent nest-building activity (despite being rather early in the season according to Vickery) made us wonder if we were actually seeing two hawks and this evening we saw two at the same time, so indeed it seems likely we have new neighbors moving in and probably can expect more drama to come.
