I'll be waiting for the BIG freeze. I sat out most of the day with my  ....nothing but neighbors staring at me cuz they think I'm looking in their windows. First they see me running down the road in bare feet chasing nothing, now they see me as a peeping "Donna". If I'm not on for a few days, I'll be in "Lock-up" probably. 

Thanks Paul, Aafke and Janet...

Wow, Donna!  Very cool indeed!    

You probably saw a Cooper's hawk (maybe a Sharpie?) since their hunting habits are all about diving into trees after birds (which I've witnessed first hand in my own back yard at close range!  Yikes!).  Red-tails usually go after rodents and reptiles (see, I didn't use the other bad "S" word!) and they pounce rather than dive on or chase.

But either way, what a great experience for you!
