Backyard Buddy

Until I behold Warrick Dunn up close and personal (sigh...)

I present to you this Atlanta falcon that has been hanging out in my backyard for the last 3 weeks. We've named him?/her? Freddie-Frieda Falcon, and his?/her? visits have absolutely fascinated and delighted my family. Make no mistake about it, this picture doesn't do justice--this is a BIG bird.

For reminding me that nature is cool, and not attacking me as I tried to capture you on film (or rather, digitally), Freddie-Frieda Falcon, you've just been added to The Thanks Ranks.
