Sunday afternoon I observed a pair of redtails swirling around in
a soar together..they were very close at times with the smaller
male above the larger female...and the crows behind my house
have begun tripping bark from the vine maple as they do every year
at nesting time...and a Winter Wren has been singing his little
head off...
