Meet Barack and Michelle Obama

We have a couple of hawks that fly around our house and they are huge. I saw one this morning and went to grab my camera and there were two of them. Apparently hawks do couple and mate for life.

So in honor of today, I have named them Michelle and Barack. For hawks, the female is larger than the male.

That's what I thought too..they're neither one as good looking as those birds are.

NICE !!!

So the female, she's the one scowling right ???

nice pic!

The female is actually the one on top and after Dan looked at the pictures, he says she's pregnant. Can you believe that? I don't even think they're married.

Punished with baby eggs. My my.

where are their parents????!!!!

she does look pregnant but I know zilch about birds

If she is pregnant and unmarried, perhaps you should name them after the Palin girly and her boyfriend? Or you could name em Goldie and Kurt? Or Angelina and Brad?

If she's pregnant you have a phenomenon there Em ...Birds lay eggs one a day until they have their quota then they set on them until they hatch. But I'll bet they holler when those eggs come out of them just like people do when a baby comes out. I know I used to hear my uncles' laying hens cackle in the morning and that was when they'd just laid their egg for the day.
She looks like she's just fluffed up her feathers to keep warm...They do that when the wind is blowing or it's just plain cold.
I'm not trying to be a smarty pants here ...we just watch the birds a lot. We have Eastern Bluebirds that nest in a box we put out in our yard every year and we watch the box like hawks...We even go buy meal worms for them to feed the babys once they've hatched. They're little beauties to me. We also have Hummers in the yard but it's a little early for them just yet. They don't come around until about March or April...depending on the weather...We feed them alsol...

We have an owl hanging out in the tree behind us. We can hear him at night and see evidence in the morning.

WTH do they eat ??? It's gotta be something big like a rat. Looks like a crime scene on the ground.

They eat anything they can catch like squirrells .rabbits .rats mice and anything that scurries along the ground at night. We've had a little owl in our tree that sounded just like a dog barking. It'd bark when we went thru the yard under the tree where it was.

We have a hoot owl.

He must be eating good. It looks like it rained buckets of white paint on the ground underneath where he hunts at night.

We had one in La. that sat in an oak tree. That darn thing knew when I'd wash the car. He'd poop BIG all over the driver's side window and door.

It made me so mad one night I stayed up looking for him to pick him out of that tree with a slingshot.

I never did get him.
