Circus cyaneus

That is a Northern Harrier sometimes called a Marsh Hawk. He is out in the yard, as I write. When I get a better lens for my camera I can get a better photo. He has been coming to the yard a few times each day to hunt for small birds. He is a big guy! When Frankenstein was younger and smaller I feared he would get swooped up. The funny thing is his call-voice is girly! Like Mike Tyson's.

He'd better not try and steal the chug! I can't believe you have a hawk in your backyard. Though he seems kind of dangerous, it's still much nicer than the 20 drunken stoners you had in the Brooklyn backyard every night.
