Is it a big hawk, or smallish? The big ones at work are red shouldered hawks.
I think it's smallish or, possibly, young. And I don't think it's a redtail. I see hawks almost every day perched in trees on the way to/from work. It gives me a thrill every time!
One time I even saw one grasping a rat in its talons.
I saw one swoop in and grab a squirrel in Roland Park once!
Good luck at urgent care, msbelle. I love the one near us so much I've stopped going to my regular doctor for sick visits, since they can never see me till days later, either. When Stephen was so sick at Christmas (adult male, labored breathing, 102 temps) they couldn't see him for three days. I was like, IT COULD BE TOO LATE THEN, FOOLS.
I just played the red-shouldered call here [link] and Pumpkin became very agitated and was nosing the laptop. Ditto the red-tailed!
I think the resident birder identified 'emt as the red shoulder, not red-tail.
Steroid shot IN THE ASS which mac thinks is the funniest thing ever.
Of course he does! But I'm glad you got treatment promptly.
Interesting article about making friends later in life: [link]
It makes me really grateful for Buffy fandom, which is responsible for you guys and most of the other friends I've made after 30.
I am watching the Bomer and DeKay thing. They are such giant dorks I love them SO MUCH. Now I want to watch that Dance Dance Revolution YouTube thing again.
I just played the red-shouldered call here
Just played it. Percy ignored it, Leo sat up and looked around like WTF, and the Gray Cat leaped up with his ears laid back and is still keeping watch. You can tell which cat was a stray.
Pumpkin is the only one who likely spent any time outdoors, if at no other time than when her carrier was dumped over the Y fence. Devi was born to a shelter cat at the shelter, Loki to my neighbor's health aid's cat and only lived in apartments. So, yeah.
I was curious, I played other hawk cries, all the same alarm from the Pumpk. And disinterest from the rest.
Steroid shot IN THE ASS
I got that 10 days ago for my stupid sinuses. Steroid butt shots, unite!
