We have Hawks that sit on the lights on the Highways and Overpasses. Also, maybe a few Turkey Vultures now and then

Our hawks are of the Red-tailed variety. Yours?

Turkey vultures were all but wiped out around here but in recent years they're making a comeback. Red-tailed hawks, coopers hawks, bald eagles, and american kestrels are common. There's also a few pairs of peregrine falcons nesting on tall buildings downtown.

They are red-tailed hawks. We do have Bald Eagles in the area as well. I had the privilege of seeing 3 of them about 3 years ago. First time ever in the wild. They were awesome!

Before I could get my camera the other two males had flown away.

Last Fall I found this little Praying Mantis. It stayed with me for about 15 minutes then it was back into the garden.

What's the weather like over there, Steve? I don't think I'll actually see our garden for another 2-3 months.

Snow, snow, snow and more snow. Wind chills last week were at -30.
Nothing green here. Other than my green radixes.

We had a recent spate of rain so Scotland is back to being green and soggy (a usually year round phenomenon)
