Tweets,

anyone see the tv commercial featuring a hawk that brings back beer
to it's owner? Care to id the hawk? As commercials go these days, all
the shots are very short, so you never get much of a look at the
bird. My first reaction was red-tail, but the underside is way too
clean; I can't see even a hint of a belly band. I'm kinda leaning
toward short-tailed hawk at this point, but I'm willing to be talked
out of it. Great commercial; I haven't the foggiest notion which
cheap beer they're trying to sell...

On another note: after six years in this house, today I finally had a
woodpecker
come to the suet. Female flicker, maybe she'll bring friends. It was
funny to watch one of the neighborhood jays try to scare her off like
they do everyone else. Flicker wasn't having any of it, and ended up
making a jab which convinced the jay to go elsewhere.
