Red Shouldered Hawk





We have a new resident in our yard, a Red Shouldered Hawk. We emailed a picture to the Raptor Center in Charlotte and they told us what type he was. We knew this was a raptor because of the yellow talons! There was also one featured in our local newspaper a week ago so they must like the area since we are close to water. We're really enjoying watching him. He's out most days from about 9-2. I would love his schedule! Enjoy the pictures! (These were taken with my zoom lens... about 30 feet away. I am finally learning how to use it after having it a year!!!)

Our very own musician! Wil plays the trombone!


We enjoyed Wil's first band concert at the Middle School. They performed about 10 songs. We are very proud of Wil. He has really practiced hard to learn how to play the trombone.
